Default Dual monitors: Can I have my mix and edit windows on different monitors?

Just did the big upgrade to HDX and aside from my current nightmare of 9171 errors on 10.3 after doing every possible optimization I could find for Win7, I would just like to know if and how to have my mix window on one monitor and the edit window on the other. I can move plugins to my 2nd monitor, but PT won't let me doodat. :) Is this not possible or is there a trick?

thanks,
Steve

Hi Steven you have to minimise the Pro tools window then drag the pro tools splash screen across both monitors or search for bob Nagy on here and buy Skootch from him its a great program :)

Get rig of your mix and edit window and you will be left with the pro tools splash screen. Then drag this across both monitors. Then in Window tab in pro tools select mix window and edit window drag these so they fit only one screen each :)
