Matrox Graphics Card – User Guide

2

Cause

If you’re using multi-display mode, the program window or dialog box may be in a display
or on a monitor that’s unusable.

1

Solution

Make sure all the displays and monitors you want to use are usable. For more information,
see other troubleshooting items in this guide.

3

Cause

The software may be using a display you didn’t intend to use or the software may be
configured to use more displays than the actual number of monitors you have. (For example,
you may be in DualHead Multi-Display mode but you only have one monitor.)

1

Solution

Disable the display:

Windows* 98/Me/2000/XP –

(* Windows 2000/XP – In “Separate resolutions…” mode only.)

Right-click your Windows desktop background, then click

Properties

#

Settings

.

2

Select the display you want to disable, then clear the

Extend my Windows desktop onto

this monitor

check box.

property sheet (

see “Accessing PowerDesk

property sheets”, page 9

).

2

Move the

Desktop area

slider until the number of displays used matches the number of

monitors connected, then click

OK

to accept your changes. (The display you disable must

be the last one, if it’s not, to change your display configuration,

see page 33

.)

4

Cause

The program window or dialog box may be somewhere off-screen.

1

Solution

If the program window you want to see is named on the Windows taskbar, right-click on it
and select

Maximize

. (If you click

Restore

the program window goes back to its previous

position. To fix this problem, see the other solutions.)

2

Solution

Manually move the program window or dialog box:

1

Press [Alt]+[Space].

2

If you see a pop-up menu, click

Move

. If you don’t see a pop-up menu, press [M] (for

Move

).

3

Press on one of the arrow keys once and move your mouse pointer to where you want the
window or dialog box to appear, then click. The program window or dialog box should
appear where you clicked.
