Full screen in secondary display
I have a secondary display connected to a DVI port on a 6800GS.

I want the visualization to run full-screen in this secondary display while I work normally in the primary display.

I can't figure out how to do this.

If AVS can't, is there another plugin that can? Thanks.

Please search the forums for fullscreen and secondary monitor.

Has been answered several times now

I'm sorry, I've done a large number of searches and have been completely unable to find a fix. The closest I've found involves something from 2004 about setting the secondary display as the primary display, which isn't really a good solution IMO.

I'd be very appreciative if you could link me to a solution. Thank you.

okay, I'll answer...

Basically there are two options:

1) Make the window a little bit bigger than the secondary screen's resolution, then drag it, so that it covers the secondary screen.

2) Drag all your items on your primary screen to your secondary screen and enable overlay mode.

Neither of those options work well for me. Do you know of any plugins that will allow me to simply have full-screen visualizations on a second monitor?

Thanks again

no, but I don't know much about other visualization programs
