My developer workstation has a big honkin' MSI graphics card for rendering video and such. Everything in Opus pubs opens on Monitor 1 even if told to open on 2. On my laptop and other desktop machines everything works fine.

However, it concerns me as I have to fear there might be other machines where this doesn't function properly. Has anyone else had this problem?

Dave

We didn't like to say :-)

Haven't had an issue with Opus per se, but my Nvidia based card wouldn't work with W7 dual screen - but it is a few years old. Both my ATI and Intel's iGPU work fine with Windows and Opus.

Normal advice, make sure you have the latest graphics drivers from the manufacturer and not just Microsoft's defaults.

Yeah, everything's up to date.

Minor, but irritating. I just set my test stuff to be draggable and then move it to the correct monitor.
