7. Windows operation
•
The connected monitor can be used in 3 modes:
•
extended mode
•
mirror mode
•
primary mode
7.1 extended mode (default)
• The added monitor screen is available as extra desktop workspace. Open windows can be moved
around (dragged and dropped) across main and added screen thus facilitating multiple task
management.
NOTICE:
Some applications may not support extended desktops and will remain on the primary
→
screen.
• This is the default setting for the adaptor. Go to the display settings of the operating system. Right
click anywhere on the desktop, select 'Properties' and select 'settings'.
• Select the DisplayLink Graphics Adapter from the drop-down menu and check the 'extend
desktop onto this monitor' box (see below). Set the physical appearance by dragging the
monitor icons to the proper location and close the window.
NOTICE:
Name and number of the display depends on the local setup. Look for the 'DisplayLink
→
Graphics'-string in the name.
When trying to open an application that was previously closed while displayed on the
→
extended screen, it might attempt to re-open on the extended screen, even when that screen
is switched off. To avoid this, consider dragging the applications to the primary monitor
before closing, especially when extended screens are used only sporadically.
When going in standby or hibernate mode, all open windows are moved to the primary
→
monitor. When returning to normal operation, the open windows are not moved back to
extended monitor. Login screens will always show up on the primary monitor.
Windows Vista: it is advised to run video or DVD playback applications on the primary
→
monitor to ensure playback performance.
