Running Windows XP on HP Pavillion a1125c computer with NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS video card and two HP L1940T monitors. DisplayFusion Pro v3.4.1 30 day trial.

When I open more than one web page or application (MS Word) and web based e-mail (Hotmail) and try to move only one page to the second monitor all pages move whether I use the title bar button or drag and drop. What I need is to have a web page open on one monitor and the web based e-mail open on the other monitor.

I can't seem to find a way t have windows open on both monitors. What am I doing wrong?

What web browser are you using? Are the pages open in tabs in the same browser instance?

Thanks!

Thank you for responding to my question. I am using IE8 and there are no tabs open. When I start the computer, Windows XP SP3, and click on IE to open my home page, which is Google, it opens on monitor 2 which is the monitor on the right. If I drag and drop the open window to monitor 1 (left monitor) or move it with the titlebar button and then attempt to open another window the new window opens on top of the first window I just moved to monitor 1 on the left.

If I attempt to move a page back to monitor 2 on the right all windows move.

PROBLEM SOLVED. DISPLAY FUSION WORKS AS ADVERTISED.

I have been opening Internet Explorer to my home page, Google, from a shortcut located in the Quick Launch Toolbar. I had created the shortcut by draging the Icon from the Address Bar when my Home Page was open to Google. For some reason, everytime I opened another window using the Icon in the Quick Launch Toolbar the new window (my Google Home Page) would open on top of the previously opened window. When I moved the window to the next monitor all windows would move.

I went to Start > Programs > Internet Explorer and created a new shortcut to IE on the Desktop. I then drug the new Icon to the Quick Launch Toolbar and now when I open a new Window, which still opens to Google, I can move it to the other monitor and then open a new window in the first monitor. The open windows show in the taskbar on the monitor where they are located.

If I drag the top window or use the Titlebar Button only the window on top moves to the next monitor. Now I am ready to purchase the DisplayFusion Pro Personal Home License as I also have a Windows 7 computer with two monitors.

I will say that I have used a competitors program on an older computer with Windows XP for the past five years and it has performed satisfactorily, but there is no provision to purchase a license for all computers in the home for a reasonable price..
