  1. multiple monitors change 1/2 to 1 and 2


    When I go to Settings and Display, my multiple monitors show "1/2" instead of 1 and 2. I think you can change this by right clicking on the clock/date on the bottom right, but I don't know which to select when I get there. Help?

    :)

    Change monitor 2 to monitor 1 and make it stay.

    I did as you suggested, but the problem was not resolved. Windows detects the monitors just fine, but I need to switch monitor 2 to be numbered monitor 1. The main diplay has not effect, as once monitor 1 is turned on monitor two looses display.

    Change monitor 2 in 1

    You don't have to change it to "1". Move the displays 1 and 2 into the correct orientation (right to left) in Settings / System / Display, then click on Monitor 2 (your larger screen) to highlight it (regardless of it is on the left or right),
    then scroll down to the bottom and tick the box for "Make this my main display".
    Then your game should open by default on the larger of the two screens.

  4. multiple monitors change 1/2 to 1 and 2

    Change monitor 2 in 1

    I just got a second monitor, but I can´t change it into number 1. I know, in display properties I can see the 2 monitors, which can be moved. But my favorite game is starting everytime on my Monitor 1, which is my smaller screen, but I wanna play on the
    bigger.

    I hope someone can help me.

    Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand everything.
