JudyKay Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think this topic has shown up a least a couple times, even recently, but I cannot find the solution. How do you set up a slide show to start on a secondary monitor?Thanks,JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyKay Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I found it in Evernote!To use the -display 2 command within a short-cut file. Just create a short-cut file(s) of your slideshow(s). Right-click the short-cut file and select Properties | Shortcut tab. Enter/Edit the -display 2 command at the end of the Target filestring. Play the shortcut file to see the slideshow on display 2If you made a menu to play the slideshows ... you can use the -display 2 command inside with your button commands.

davegee Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Just a quick question.What would happen if you took the Menu and related shows to a pc with just one monitor/projector. Would it ignore the display 2 command or "crash"?DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Dave,Yes, on a PC with one display, slideshow always starts on the main display. It will not appear on absent display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyKay Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I am able to only run one slide show, exe or scr at a time with two monitors. If one screen is activated that screen will run but the other screen is suspended. I guess the computer or Graphics card makes that decision? Is there a way using one computer two run 2 different simultaneous instances of exe and/or scr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom95521 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Judy,Make sure you have the pause slideshow option when window inactive disabled on the first slideshow that starts (or both of them). I have not tested.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
