Default Dual monitors issue

I installed Pro tools 10 on my windows 7 machine and I have dual monitors. I like to have the edit window in one monitor and mix in the other monitor which was fine in all other pro tools I am unable to do so with pro tools 10. anyone else experiencing this or know of how to fix? It could be something so easy that i'm missing.

What do you mean by being unable? What is the exact problem?

I had some issues initially because PT would forget window settings with each start. I figured out that when dragging the window to size it, I had to be careful not to make it too big (not bigger than the two monitors). That easily happens when dragging right up into a corner. Now everything works fine.

I run 3 monitors with PT10 just fine. Don't forget to close using alt+f4 to save your settings. You could also email "Bob Nagy @ aol dot com" and ask for a demo of "Skootch". This software will help with the issue.

Skootch works fine with PT10 ?

I'm using v4.1 here, and it's working fine with PT 9.05 .

Yup. It's fine in 10.

I'm having the above problem...I'm new to ProTools...but I'm pretty sure I should be able to just drag the Mix window on to my extended desktop monitor?

Strangely enough...the Plug-ins will drag over...but not the Mix window or the Edit window...Apologies if I'm being a noob. But the help would be appreciated!

I really doubt that - it was probably microsoft's money that kept Mac alive !!! It's on utube check out the videos - remember when Mac's were shipping with Internet explorer????

digi probably never had the kind of money that Microsoft fed to apple - just saying

I would guess unix/msdos differences to recode every little item would be quite the undertaking - probably akin to two different programs (under the hood- anyway)
