as title says i'm fiddeling with dule displays atm, my problem is that the windows task bar will only display in the secondary display, i want it in the primary one instead, atm i've solved the problem by changeing everything around to the second display and set the one i want as primary to secondary, but i would like to know how to change it :-/

neg.. video card does not matter.. dual display is handled by windows alone..

as kane kinda said... make sure the one you want to have task bar etc.. in is set to primary display. and your secondary is only set to "extend my windows desktop onto this monitor"

your secondary monitor can be moved around your primary monitor. as to how you have things setup (to the left or right or notop or below of your primary)

windows controls which monitors you use, but it's video card drivers that determine how the view is spanned across the 2...


i.e. nvidia's nView manager
