Unfortunately DisplayFusion isn't able to handle this yet. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-doesnt-become-main-monitor-when-i-close-laptop-any-more/?ID=49244a0c-ade0-4af1-9fb7-0f97daf804cc#4 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 04:10:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-doesnt-become-main-monitor-when-i-close-laptop-any-more/?ID=49244a0c-ade0-4af1-9fb7-0f97daf804cc#4 DisplayFusion I'm having the opposite problem (sort of). My desktop icons, sidebar, etc. are moving to the second monitor when I close my laptop, then when I open the laptop, they move back. I want to stop this from occurring, because it takes about 30 seconds to switch everything each time, and the only reason I close my laptop is because I'm done using it and merely want to watch my photoshow on the second monitor. Plus, I leave my windows set up on each monitor the way I like, but after the PC has moved everything to one monitor and then back to the other, I have to go back and re-put everything where I like it. Is there a way to keep the desktop from moving to the second monitor when I close the laptop?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-doesnt-become-main-monitor-when-i-close-laptop-any-more/?ID=49244a0c-ade0-4af1-9fb7-0f97daf804cc#3 Sat, 10 May 2008 20:09:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-doesnt-become-main-monitor-when-i-close-laptop-any-more/?ID=49244a0c-ade0-4af1-9fb7-0f97daf804cc#3 DisplayFusion I'm glad to hear you got your issue cleared up, hopefully it doesn't come back. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-doesnt-become-main-monitor-when-i-close-laptop-any-more/?ID=49244a0c-ade0-4af1-9fb7-0f97daf804cc#2 Wed, 07 May 2008 03:09:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-doesnt-become-main-monitor-when-i-close-laptop-any-more/?ID=49244a0c-ade0-4af1-9fb7-0f97daf804cc#2 DisplayFusion Ok, I restarted the computer and left DisplayFusion turned off (it's not set to come on at computer start up) and my second monitor now becomes my main monitor when I close my laptop. I turned on DisplayFusion and my second monitor still becomes my main monitor when I close my laptop. Problem solved I guess. Anyway I hope everything is fine from here on out as I like what this program does and I want to buy a license. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-doesnt-become-main-monitor-when-i-close-laptop-any-more/?ID=49244a0c-ade0-4af1-9fb7-0f97daf804cc Wed, 07 May 2008 02:48:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-doesnt-become-main-monitor-when-i-close-laptop-any-more/?ID=49244a0c-ade0-4af1-9fb7-0f97daf804cc DisplayFusion It used to be that when I closed my laptop all my desktop icons and Windows Sidebar would shift over to my second monitor and then when I opened my laptop they would switch back again. After installing DisplayFusion this no longer works. Anyone know how I can fix this? ]]>
