    Second Monitor question

    I have my laptop hooked up to a wide screen monitor, so I run things and move them over to the wide screen. When I unplug my laptop and take it somewhere else, some apps I load, end up going over to the no longer hooked up monitor. How can i shift them back over to my desktop?

    Thanks!

    right click on desktop - properties - settings - check "use this device as a primary monitor" .
    Just make sure you select the laptop desktop as primary monitor.
    I had the same problem and solved it this way .
    If it doesnt work , just uncheck "extend my windows desktop onto this monitor" and activate it when you want to hook up the second monitor again .
