Enabling full screen on a secondary monitor

Hi,

I would like to enable full screen mode on my second monitor (my primary is my laptop screen). Although this is obviously possible in 'clone' mode, I need to activate it in 'Dual View'. Whichever monitor I select to be my primary monitor in Windows, the full screen mode in Celestia automatically defaults to my laptop screen. This doesn't happen in other programs that I use such as NASA Worldwind.

Doe anybody know a way to fix this?

For info, I am running Vista Business SP1 on an Acer Travelmate laptop, 1GB RAM, Core2Duo T5500 1.66GHz, Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 128MB.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi djbog

Did you set up both the Nvidia tool and the Windows display properties like this?

Hi jogad,

Thank you so much, I can't believe I missed that :oops: I had the settings correct in the Windows dialogue box, but incorrect in the nvidia control panel. It now works correctly.

Thanks again.
