[LOGic] Misc. Stuff RE 2 MONITORS

Mon Oct 24 14:01:08 EDT 2011

I don't run Aero mode either. I try to turn off all the extra bells & 
whistles which are not mission critical.
Been experimenting with the dual monitors since I posted the prior email and 
consistently lose LOGIC from time to time. Still have not had the "AHA!" 
moment, but it's definitely related to which monitor I place the 
applications on. I can make LOGIC (and everything else) work properly on 
either screen, but occasionally pieces still are not viewable, even though I 
can tell they are running somewhere.
I am thinking there is a conflict between the graphics card software and 
WIN7's resident display drivers or utility. Not quite ready to set 
everything to default, uninstalling drivers and starting over, but getting 
there...definitely don't want to lose this stuff going into the CQWW 
contest!

On my ham radio computer, I turn off Aero mode. You can lose stuff with
wrong mouse swipe...
