Hi jayb,

there's a very cool software called UltraMon. it creates a "smart" taskbar for each monitor. you should check it out.

Oh, I have this problem frequently. I don't have the same setup as you, but I do use remote desktop to access my dual-monitor setup at work. I use the same procedures as above. It seems like it should be easy to fix the problem for good though. Your configuration is probably less common than mine.

@cash4gold thanks for the link. I'll have to checkout the software, its not free but it looks very useful

@Paul One of my monitors is my LCD on my notebook, docking and un-docking as well as applications that are not writing for dual monitors can be a big problem.

Thanks to both of you for visiting and commenting. Have a great day.

I've been having the same problem lately. I try to use remote desktop to access the two-monitor setup that I use at the office. I use basically the same steps as you, with a few minor exceptions. It works - and I'm definitely no computer whiz.

I used to have this problem and had a software to deal with it. Cant remember the name now, since that was more then a year ago. I checked this Ultramon right now, and it does something similar. It could help.

I have always wanted to try that and run two monitors beside each other. I think it would be easier on my eyes. It is good to know some of the tricks to make this whole process easier when I'm ready. I just bought a second hand computer and await the delivery in the next few days, thenIi can try this.

Hi jayb, thanks for the tip. I'm planning to buy a second monitor, but still not sure if my favorite apps will support the setup.

The two monitor thing's never worked too well for me, but maybe it's a problem with my laptop. Some people at work have three monitor set ups now. I'm very jealous, they look well cool!

Thanks for this tip. I only recently began using a dual monitor setup and I still have a lot to learn on how to use it properly.
