[Dx4win] Second Monitor problem...

[Louis Dietrich]

Guy and DX4WINers,

Success and here's how it was done....

1. I ran an old version of DX4WIN...before I had two screens...arranged the
screens the way I wanted them...then checked the Leave windows box in the
Preferences] Screen tab...

2. Then I copied the DX4WIN.cfg file from the old version to the save
directory of the existing version. (Thanks Guy for this hint!)

3. I then opened the new version...ignoring the warning screen about
differing config files...all my screens come up on my primary monitor.

4. I rearranged the screens to my liking...and exited the program...

5. Rebooted DX4WIN ...And voila! All appears to bee in order...

Hopefully no one else will experience the problem of a second monitor (or
video card) going bad...but if you do, the above should help...

Thanks to all who responded...

73/ Regards...

Lou N2TU

Lou,
You can edit the backup dx4win.ini file first  
with textpad or similar editor. normally you can 
move them to your first screen with this possibility
