Was having an overheating problem last week and took my workstation to a local guy that was recommended. It turned out to be the fan on my video card, so we replaced the video card. While there I noticed his workstation used dual monitors and he demonstrated it. He then informed me that the card I had purchased would also support it so i got a second monitor and, voila, I wonder why I waited so long.
It is truly neat, the best thing since sliced bread, and much easier than I expected it to be. But i have a couple of detail questions for anyone more familiar with it than I am at this point.
1. Is there some way to control on which screen a dialog box will appear. For example, I currently have my email client open on monitor #2 (on the right) and when I print an email the dialog box appears almost totally on the left side of monitor #1. I figured if I moved it over to #2, then the next time the new position would be remembered. It was not. So am I doomed to premature carpel tunnel syndrome if I continue to print emails or is a solution at hand that I haven't stumbled across?
2. I am making some tutorials for one of my websites that involve screen captures. I understand that Alt + Print Screen will copy the active window to the clipboard. But if I don't use that my screen capture is for both monitors. There are situations where I may want to capture multiple windows in one capture on one monitor and would prefer not to have to crop the other monitor out. Is there some other keyboard command to capture just the contents of the screen of one of the two monitors?
