Subject: Windows 8 x64-second screen-extend these displays
Posted: 09 May 2014 at 11:27am
Hi
In our environment we have laptops with dockingstations connected to secondary monitors. We are using BGInfo64 version 4.16--Built 2011/08/17
For example:
Laptop monitor resolution: 1366 x768 (Recommended)
Second monitor resolution: 1920 x1080 (Recommended)
When we use the "PC Screen only" optionin Windows 8 (Second monitor active only, laptop monitor closed - secondmonitor identified as screen 1 main display) BGInfo64 creates anddisplays the desktop bitmap correctly i.e. BGinfo.bmp (dimensions: 1920 x1080) and Background.jpg (dimensions 1920 x 1200) - text is displayed fartop right hand side with background.jpg correctly cantered in the middle of thescreen on the second monitor
When we use the "Extend" option inWindows 8 (laptop monitor active - identified as screen 1 and second monitoralso active - identified as screen 2 main display) BGInfo64 creates and displaythe desktop bitmap incorrectly i.e. BGinfo.bmp (dimensions: 3286 x 1080) - textis displayed on the laptop monitor – identified as screen 1 and not the maindisplay.
If we change the laptop monitor – identified asscreen 1 to be the main display BGInfo64 creates and display the desktop bitmapincorrectly i.e. BGinfo.bmp (dimensions: 3286 x 1080) – text is displayed onthe second monitor – identified asscreen 2 as though the screen is the laptop monitor
Has anyone come across this issue previously, anyideas ?
