Smile Using 2 Screens

Hi,
Just looking for some advice I am currently running Pro Tools 8 LE and I want to run another screen with my laptop.
I can get the edit window to cross over to the other screen but when I try to split the track mixer it wants to stay with the edit window.
I have tried reducing the main screen and drag it between both screens and then maximising but it all jumps onto one monitor, is there anything I have missed in the set up or preferences.
I would appreciate if there is any help is out there many thanks.

Rob2

Default Re: Using 2 Screens

Always use the restore down. Drag the main PT screen across both monitors. Size the two (Edit an Mix) windows to the separate monitors and save ueing alt+f4.

If you would like to try scootch, [email protected] is thee mail address. He wrote it.
