Default Re: Maximize Windows On Dual Monitor Setup

Make sure you have the correct graphic card and display drivers installed. It won't work properly if you have everything set to "Plug and Play".

The way you have it set is that windows THINKS it has one ultra-wide screen, and this is then being spanned across two screen outputs by your graphics card.

The way you want it set is so that windows KNOWS that it has two seperate monitors, and it KNOWS the resolution and relative position of each screen. When it is set up that way, you can quite happily maximise within each screen, and it will just fill that screen, rather than both.

I know this way of working is fine with ATI Radeon cards, but only if the correct drivers are installed.
