  1. Dragging server screens on dual monitors


    Hello,


    I am using dual monitors (in extend mode) in my workspace. I used to be able to drag screens back and forth to both monitors without issues. Since we had a recent desk move I am not able to move server screens anymore to the other monitor but yet I can drag everything else across both screens.

    The server screens seem to "disappear" at the border of the screen but yet my cursor is visible on the second screen.


    Would anyone know how to fix this?


    Thank you!

    :)

    How can I drag a screen display onto an adjoining satellite monitor?

    Hi Stewart,

    In order for us to assist you dragging a screen to your satellite monitor, you can follow these steps:

    • Move the cursor off each of the four screen edges to see if one of them works.
    • If it does, position the monitors in the Display > Screen Resolution window
      to match the physical placement of the monitors.
    In the event that the previous steps failed to work, you can try these:

    • In the display settings just swap the
      Display1 and Display2 Monitors.
    • Drag the Monitor1 display icon and
      drop it on Monitor2 display icon, this would give you the correct alignment of screens.

    Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have further inquiries.

    Trouble Dragging Excel Page Across Dual Monitor Screens


    I haven't been able to figure out why my Excel pages resist being dragged across my dual monitor screens without first being minimized. "Drag and Drop" movement across monitor screens works for all my other applications. Anyone has a clue on this?

    Thanks.
