PSE 6 - Dual Monitor Full Screen Problem

I've got a Thinkpad (with NVIDIA Quadro M140 integrated graphics) connected via DVI to a Samsung SyncMaster 206BW monitor using Vista Enterprise.
I've set up my workspace as Dual Monitor, DualView.   My Font DPI is set at 96 (Default).
When I click Maximize on the Thinkpad LCD, PSE 6 opens fully and correctly.
When I click Maximize on the Samsung external monitor, PSE 6 opens a window that is larger than the monitor AND there are no bars at the bottom to shift the display.  Therefore, I cannot see about 15% of the right side of the window when in Maximum/Full Screen mode.
PSE 6 appears to be the only program that has this problem.
I cannot adjust the monitor, since I'm connected via DVI.
All video drivers are current.
Is there a fix for this problem?

I haven't seen this occur on my Macbook pro with secondary or triple monitors.  Is this happening with all fullscreen content (eg. YouTube)?  What browser and Flash Player Version are you using?  Also, is this a retina macbook?

  • Dual Monitor Full Screen Images

    Hy to everyone, I have a G5 with dual monitor out set to 1024x768 each, for a total resolution of 2048x768, i created images graphics of that resolution(2048x768)like jpg tiff, flash,and I want to display these enterely on the two monitors not only in one, when i maximize the windows it fit the images only in one screen and not in two screen. What i have to setup? is there some software that manage the desktop and windows of the mac?
    Thanks a lot.

    No, if i set Quicktime in full screen mode the movie fit only one monitor and not 2, even if my movie i set to 2048x768 pixel and my 2 monitors are 2 1024x768 in desktop mode!! I Can manually strech the quick time to reach the 2048x768 resulution, but i see the toolbar of quicktime and i dont wan't it.
    Thanks a lot.

  • GNOME 3.8, Dual Monitor - Lock Screen Problem

    I don't know if this is the best place to post this, but here it goes.
    If I use a dual monitor configuration in GNOME, when I lock the screen, X hangs.
    I can still access a TTY and restart GDM.
    I don't know where I can find any useful information about what is going on, but maybe someone can point me into the right direction.

    Have you tried to enable sna ? A lot o problem with gnome and GDM 3.8 seems to be solved that way.
    To do so, create this file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
    and add in it:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
    EndSection

  • Yosemite - dual monitor; full screen option

    I have a Mac Mini running the latest version of Yosemite. I have two monitors. Because I want to use Spaces, I do not have separate desktops on each monitor. My problem comes in when I click on a window "expand" button. When I do this the window expands to fill its current monitor. What is new with Yosemite (at least in my experience) is that all content on the other monitor (doesn't matter if it primary or not) is blanked out. Presumably the purpose of this is to allow someone to focus better on the task at hand. However, focus is not the only reason why someone would want to fill their current monitor's screen with a single window. It could just be used as a short-cut way to enlarge the current window.
    I'd appreciate any suggestion as to how to work around this besides dragging the corner of each window to fill the monitor screen. And I'd recommend that if this behavior is as planned, that users have an option to [ignore | leave as is] the other monitor's content.
    Thanks in advance for any reply.

  • Dual monitor full screen woes

    I generally use two screens (two separate monitors) while working on my macbook pro at home. the issue i face is that if I need to use an app in full screen, say i watch a movie on one of the screens, the other one is rendered useless and only shows a black screen. Is there someway to use both my screens as separate spaces, whereby I'm able to use full screen apps on both my monitors at the same time?

  • Monitoring full screen HDV over firewire from camcorder

    Hello,
    I am a recent switcher from Windows to Mac. One thing I haven't figured out how to do yet on my Mac is to simply use my MacBook Pro screen to monitor (in full screen) the HDV video that comes off the Firewire cable of my Sony camcorder.
    On Windows XP, I used to use VLC for this. I posted a message a few weeks ago asking for help with this on my camcorder's forum:
    http://www.sonyhdvinfo.com/showthread.php?t=13728
    but haven't gotten any solution yet.
    The thing is that the Mac version of VLC doesn't have the 'Open from Capture Device' feature that the Windows version does, and I haven't been able to figure out any other way with Final Cut or Quicktime on my new Mac to do this.
    Again, I simply want to MONITOR full screen the HDV video that comes off my Sony camcorder's firewire. If I use the logging tool in Final Cut, I only get a small preview window (which I can't seem to get full screen). Same in Quicktime. Of course I can CAPTURE the tape to Final Cut and then playback full screen, but that is a step I'm hoping to avoid.
    Do you Mac folks have any other tricks for doing this?
    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks for all your replies, but I still haven't found a solution for this one:
    @Red Door:
    It looks as you might be right! Thanks for confirming what I've found to be true: this may not be possible on a Mac!
    @Studio X:
    Thanks for this idea. I already do this when I have a HDTV available. But the idea here is that I'd like to be able to use my laptop monitor for this when I'm on the road (and don't have an HDTV, or the HDMI cable, available). As I said, with my Windows laptop and VLC this was a great solution to monitor my HD camera when I'm on the road with just my laptop and camcorder. Its a shame I can't get my gorgeous new MacBook Pro with the beautiful almost-HD resolution monitor to do this!
    @Thomas & Andy:
    Thanks for these recommendations .. they almost worked! I tried both and neither quite did the job. BTV looks like a really old program (last release 2002?). It looked promising, but alas couldn't get it to recognize my HDV camcorder.
    Monitor Magic looked even more promising, as it is a new piece of software specifically made for this purpose. Indeed, it did recognize my HDV camcorder no problem, but alas it still couldn't do the job. First, you can't monitor full screen! (That's my whole point.) Additionally, I didn't get any sound and also the video quality was really poor in the preview window. No way to deinterlace and lots of dropped frames. I got a better preview window out of Final Cut and Quicktime.
    Anyway, thanks for your recommendations but my search continues! (At least until a better version of VLC for Mac comes out!)
    I remain really surprised how hard this is to accomplish on a Mac! Macs have such a good reputation for video/media editing. Regardless, this was pretty tough to get working on my Windows laptop until I discovered VLC.
    Thanks again!

  • Full Screen Problem - Dual Monitors - Hulu Desktop

    I am using Hulu Desktop with dual monitors. I keep Hulu on full screen on monitor #2. I use monitor #1 for computer use, etc.
    It is IMPOSSIBLE to look at an app in full screen mode on monitor #1 and keep my Hulu full screen in monitor #2 at the same time. So if Hulu is playing and I open up a full screen Mail.app...the hulu screen (mon. 2) just shows that grey background.
    Apple NEEDS to add a way to make the #2 monitor immune to the spaces functionality. That or make a way so that an app can stay on top of ALL SCREENS not just user-created ones.
    I have seen people suggest the, "Right click the app in the dock and choose all screens" but that ONLY works for user-created desktops. It won't make the app be full screen over Mail, iCal, Address book, etc when they make their own spaces window.
    Help! :-)\

    That's annoying, isn't it?
    It's why I quit using iTunes in full screen.
    I play my movies in VLC and "maximize" the window so I can keep working on the other display. I don't knwo of any other way aorund it.

  • Full Screen Problem With Dual Monitor Viewing

    I have a 64 Bit system, Chrome browser and with flash player built in.  I am attempting to view videos on a 2nd monitor while working on the primary monitor.  I have tried this on various sites, TNT.tv, USANetworks.com, etc...  I select full screen viewing.  A message is displayed to exit full screen press escape.  However, when I attempt to do anything else automatically exit full screen on the second monitor.   This should not be an issue and with the way most people view video online, they are doing so on a 2nd monitor or TV.  I have done a google search and it is a common problem, but there is no solution that seems to work.

    I have just posted the same question - missed yours.
    Adobe could you take a look into this - I think solving this problem can't be that hard.

  • Acroread full screen problem - dual display on Linux machine

    Hi:
    I am running Linux Fedora core 15 on an HP laptop that I use for presentations.  I have dual displays set up and run my presentation software (opera and acroreader)  in the external monitor in full screen mode.  This works fine for opera, but when I try to use acroreader, it only appears on the laptop's built in monitor when in full screen mode.   Any suggestions on how to get it on the external display?
    Thanks.

    When you normally play iTunes on a secondary monitor (23" Cinema on the side) and then disconnect to go mobile, there's a problem - can't get video window to show up anywhere without changing preferences to have video display in iTunes window or art window. Disabling spaces, checking display, "detect displays", nothing else works.

  • Mountain Lion Dual screen window Full screen problem?

    Hey Cuckoo
    i Use an iMac with 2 dual screens and the problem you are describing is fixed in the final build release of ML.
    i have not seen the breaking of activity when switching too full screen on even all 3 monitors.  so looking good in the multiscreen support.

  • Final Cut 7 Full screen problem

    Hello everyone, I recently installed snow leopard, and final cut studio 3, on a 3.2 dual quad core machine, it has 16gigs of ram and internal raid controller. for graphics card I am using quadro fx 5600.
    I have 2 screen configuration.
    I've had the following problem after the installation. When I play something from final cut on my second display (which is in full screen mode), it seems that video is lagging or something like that, image appears that its being scanned or something, its more apparent on the action scenes, where it more camera movement. It has been very annoying, and I am sure its not a bit rate issue, all I am trying to play is a prores LT file, and outside the final cut (in QT for ex) everything plays very smooth.
    Maybe there is someone who had similliar problem, please people I am in need badly.

    check the system prefs and adjust the settings up or down, see what happens. You don't mention the type of monitor so it's hard to know where the controls are but after an OS upgrade it's possible the settings got changed. Try reducing the number of colors, try changing the scanning freq, try changing the resolution. Try updating the driver for your card, too, might be a new one for Snow Leopard.

  • Dual Monitor Causing System Problems?

    Hi, I'm new to this site, so I hope this is where I ask this question! My design group switched to G5/Cinema Display screen from old g4 setups mid 2005. I retained my Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2020u monitor to use as a secondary display for pallettes, extra files, etc. It's hooked up using a dvi-vga adapter.
    My new G5 had hiccups from the start, but around March 2006 I started getting Kernel Panics almost every week, serious slow-downs, Adobe app crashes, etc. It got to the point that I was troubleshooting every week, but could never put a finger on exactly what was happening. IT archive-installed 10.4.4 after we discovered the system had been updated to 10.4.6 and we thought that would solve the problem. While that solved the issues that were relevant to 10.4.6 glitches, it didn't fix everything and little, persistent problems remained, including stalls, crashes and kernel panics. After removing suspect fonts, wallpaper, icons, updating software, repairing permissions, tossing preferences, and other troubleshooting over and over, we (I.T.) finally switched my cpu to another one in the department using data migration (just my user information, not software or other files). Still the same hiccups and even new glitches appeared (InDesign crashing on spellcheck, Photoshop not granting me access to save changes to files, etc.), including two more Kernel panics (within 5 minutes of each other) in the two weeks since we switched hardware. More troubleshooting fixed the app-specific problems, but there are still the persistent annoyances occurring.
    I again did all the troubleshooting mentioned above and finally someone mentioned that I'm the only designer in our group using a dual display set-up. Could there be validity to the non-cinema display monitor causing these problems and if so, what is the solution? I've disconnected the second monitor for now, but would love to have it back. Also, we work with a server (for instance, the kernel panics only happen when I try to place a file from the server into InDesign CS2 using the place command, so there's another avenue to go down if the monitor isn't the issue.)Thanks!

    I only just disconnected the monitor, so it will take time to tell if that's a factor. As for the kernel panics, although it's always the same scenario (placing images from server through InDesign) they happen very randomly; it's not happening every single time I place a file. In fact, I just placed an image on the server into an ID doc I have on my desktop, no problem. So I can't say for sure that it has happened when working from my desktop or only when working on the server.

  • Dual-monitor setup + screen rotation

    Hello, I want to use my desktop computer with a dual-monitor setup. I have connected both monitors successfully, but problems arise after this point.
    The first problem is that they both just display the same screen and that xrandr only detects one screen called "Screen 0". I can change the screen resolution with it, so at least it sees things correctly, but I don't know how to extend my screen area to a new desktop. Not sure if this is relevant, but they're both monitors of the same model.

  • Dual Monitors Windows 7 Problems

    Ok, this problem is getting really annoying and I think its a problem with windows 7 itself and not my computer.
    Basically I have a dual monitor setup with the left hand monitor as my secondary and right hand monitor as my primary.  Whenever I have an application with any graphics on it at all such as a progress bar on my left hand monitor moving windows around becomes laggy and juddery, yet this doesn't happen when the graphical app is on my primary monitor!
    My system Specs: 
    ASUS Striker Extreme MOBO
    OCZ 850W gameXtreme
    Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz CPU
    4GB (4x1GB) OCZ DDR2 1066MHz RAM
    Nvidia 8800GTX
    Sound blaster x-fi Xtreme Gamer (older PCI version)
    3 x 80GB HD for system drive in RAID 0
    1 x 500GB and 1 x 250GB drives for storage
    Monitors are 1680 x 1050 res
    Windows 7 Exp Index:
    CPU: 5.9
    Memory: 5.9
    Graphics: 6.8
    Gaming Graphics: 6.8
    Primary HD: 5.9
    What iv tried:
    Updating to latest drivers
    Upgraded system memory from 2GB to 4GB
    Installing 64-bit version
    removing sound card and re-installing windows from scratch
    upgraded my PSU
    Thanks for your help!

    (Latest update) This is the best I can do to alleviate the problem, and does reduce its severity immensely, but I found myself still noticing some slight playback glitches in videos on my second monitor which probably also translate to anything else with movement. I have tested with a panning scene in one of my videos and there is a subtle micro-stutter on my second monitor which I can find no way to fix. This doesn't occur if outputting to a single display, one or the other, nor does it occur when playing the video on my primary monitor in a dual-monitor configuration. Note that when I say "primary monitor", I am not referring to the monitor Windows has marked as primary, but my actual monitor rather than TV. In a dual-monitor configuration, this micro-stutter will only occur when playing video on my right monitor (TV), regardless of settings or which ports the monitors are connected to on the GPU. The micro-stutter occurs with no relation to the activity on the other screen, as it can be completely still. I can confirm the micro-stutter does not occur at all with Desktop Window Manager (Aero) disabled. In short, this is a nightmare.
    (Note that this micro-stutter is equally replicable in the 182.50 (WDDM1.1-less) driver, meaning there is no way to solve it other than disabling Aero or outputting to a single monitor.)
    I think I've solved the problem.. for me, anyway. I've divided this into short answer and "long answer", which is closer to a stream of consciousness in some ways, as I found out about Force10Level9 as I was writing.
    The short version:
    I've found some registry keys which seem to have fixed the problem for me. I haven't experienced any side effects, but use the tweaks at your own risk!
    I don't know exactly what they do. This comes from a lot of.. experimentation. I believe FrameRateMin tells the Desktop Window Manager that it's crucial to try to keep the framerate at or above the value specified (more details below), and Force10Level9 sounds like it forces DWM to use DirectX 9. I'm fairly certain about the former, not as certain about the latter, but together they do wonders.
    You can view the fix below. You can then save it as a .reg file and import it into your registry. Restart the Desktop Window Manager service or reboot to see the changes.
    Fix: http://pastebin.com/FFDbubw9
    Undo: http://pastebin.com/zA8CJY06
    (P.S. Just ran a FurMark test between fix applied and no fix. No difference in performance, with an inactive secondary monitor. I also noticed no difference in Physical Memory usage as reported by Task Manager. YMMV, let me know if you have any side effects.)
    (P.P.S. The screen fade that happens when you log in/out is just as choppy as before (or if it wasn't choppy for you, that shouldn't have changed). Oh well, how often do we see that thing, anyway? :))
    By the way, it appears 10Level9 is Windows 7's emulation platform for running DX10 on DX9 hardware. It's reported to be at least a 0.5x performance hit, so it's surprising that it actually makes Aero run better. If this article is anything to go by, Force10Level9 makes Aero run exactly the same as it does with older WDDM 1.0-only drivers like 182.50: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=637&pgno=1
    The long version:
    Well... I was able to do one more thing.
    There is an undocumented registry key which allows you to fine-tune the Desktop Window Manager's scheduling. Unfortunately, all of its values seem to be defunct in the final version of Windows 7 we all use today... except one: FrameRateMin.
    From what I gather, the Desktop Window Manager (Aero) carefully monitors the framerate it is able to achieve, and when it can't measure up to its own expectations, it will perform a "step down", or framerate reduction, and maintain this lower framerate for a given period of time (at one time specifiable with a registry value) before trying again at maximum speed.
    I presume it does all this to keep things looking "smooth".
    The problem is, in most cases, it doesn't help, and actually prolongs the stuttering duration. By "in most cases", I mean in every case it's happened in my personal usage of my Windows 7 computers.
    So what helped me was setting this FrameRateMin value to 60. That way, the Desktop Window Manager considers anything under 60fps to be unacceptable and will not remain at a lower framerate for purposes of perceived smoothness. Thus, the stuttering will take up as little time as possible, making it nearly unnoticeable most of the time.
    Keep in mind DWM shouldn't be having performance problems to begin with, but apparently in some cases, like with my particular hardware (desktop and laptop) and the latest NVIDIA drivers, it does.
    Down to brass tacks. The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Schedule. The value is FrameRateMin, a DWORD representing the minimum framerate DWM will consider as acceptable. I set it to 60, but you can set it to whatever you want.
    To repeat, this WILL NOT prevent Aero from ever getting below the framerate you specify; it simply prevents Aero from retaining a lower framerate after a stutter in order to give the illusion of smoothness (an illusion which fails).
    I imagine the main reason it fails so spectacularly in my usage is because I watch a lot of videos which play back at 24fps. Such a framerate plays back terribly with a 30Hz refresh rate, which is what Aero would reduce itself to for extended lengths of time. Now, performance hiccups are minimal, but sadly still existent.
    So this isn't a solution, but it does help. I am still uncertain of where the problem lies, considering GPU-Z shows graphics card loads to be as low as always when it's happening.
    Oh, and I found one more registry value. This one is far more important. :) It solves the problem for me entirely, from what I can tell.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics
    add the DWORD value Force10Level9 with a value of 1.
    I haven't noticed any side effects, just smooth performance.
    Apply these tweaks at your own risk!

  • Aperture and dual monitor ICC profile problem

    I am using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 and run Aperture 2.1 from a MBP with a Cinema Display 23". I calibrated both displays (the 23" and the MBP display) with my ancient but working ColorVision Spyder, using OptiCal 3.7. I calibrated for a gamma of 2.2. and native white point. I check the results with various test images.
    Here is the problem: the calibration produces a perfectly calibrated display, but when I open Aperture some color change is taking place, as if Aperture pulls in a wrong profile for the display (which then also leads to wrong colors in the prints): sometimes the photo which I have printed out before in perfect quality displays with either a nasty yellow cast or with totally oversaturated colors. I have used ColorSync utility to make the 23" the default display and I have also tried to simply close the MBP to work only with the 23", and sometimes either of these this did the trick. Most of the times, however, I get these color casts or oversaturation of the photos which I had worked on for a while and printed earlier with perfection.
    I ran Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions (many Epson-related permissions were wrong, for example "Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Libraries/UtilityCore.framework/Versions/ A/Resources/Icon8007.png", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are -rwxrwxr-x ) and reinstalled the latest Epson driver for 10.5 repeatedly.
    Even more surprising, at times the color of the full screen image can be off at the same time the thumbnail looks perfect! How is this possible? It seems as if thumbnail and full image use different display profiles. In addition, if I export the Master and display it in Lightroom or CS2 it looks perfectly fine and prints as expected. (I use the appropriate "canned" ICC profiles for the printer-paper combination).
    The most surprising happens, however, when I drag the image from the 23" to the MBP: when the image is about half-way between the two displays (that is, one part is displayed on the 23", the other on the MBP scree) it suddenly changes from off-color or oversaturated to the correct color on the 23". If I then move the image up to the 23" again, the wrong display colors appear again.
    I am at a loss: I have spent a lot of money on the gorgeous screen, the great printer, and Aperture (which is a great program), but I cannot get Aperture to print reliably, or rather, I cannot get Aperture to use the right display profile to display the image correctly in a reliable way.
    I have read kbeat's color management blog and many entries on this blog here, but I have not found a solution. I appreciate your help.

    Kai,Simon,
    This is the problem i have been having.Colour profiling is correct,prints are rubbish.I run a fuji frontier
    as well as epson printers.Anything from aperture is not what you see on screen.I am running aperture2.1.
    Today we are removing 2.1 and doing a reinstall of 1.1 but not upgrading to 2 to test run prints.I have been looking for answers to this for sometime.
    Simon,the problems we are have are very similar to you clients,photoshop fine,aperture not.I also have 20"external apple monitor attached which is used as the colour correcting monitor ( as the imac screen is not that good for criticl work ) I will post my findings here.
    Simon, if you wish to investigate further,e-mail me,i am in leeds
