Dual screens (cant drag windows)

Just registered to say that I'm experiencing the same issues as described by darkf0xx and FourHundred57. It doesn't matter how fast I move the cursor towards the edge of the screens where my monitor's touch they always get stuck. I have to drop them slightly before and then pick them up from the other monitor to move them. I don't want to disable snap as I do use it's functionality. But for a small number of users it does seem to be exhibiting some strange behaviour. I've spoken with a few guys I work with and none of them are having the same issue.

They made it so that if you move slowly, it will stick to a screen, but when you move the window faster it will go to the other screen, unless you have a weird issue, but that's how it's supposed to work i believe.

Awesome response Drexhin, kinda obtuse MS didn't make this more obvious...

Thanks!

Yea its pretty stupid that its speed based, jut make it like a pressure based one, like move it over and when it connect have the snap function if you move it even further then it goes through. A lot more clear than the speed based system imo.

I am running my 24" Samsung desktop monitor and the Toshiba 52" tv in my living room and mine works fine. I can use whatever program I want to display on the TV. I just enabled extended display in my display properties and I can drag the program (VLC, MPC, etc) to the other screen. My wife can watch a movie while I play my game.
Do you have extended display enabled?
Sorry to hear you are having problems.

cheers

already found the issue, when you drag it slow then it gets stuck.

Ah I see, glad you found the issue and you are able to work around it.

cheers

I joined the forum just to thank you. That is the fix exactly. Cheers.

to say thanks, it was driving me madder

irrelevantly, i also love the tone of the registration pages. very british.

Hello! I am having the same issue I tried to turn off the 'snap' and this didn't seem to work. And it doesn't matter how fast I drag it it still gets stuck. It only does it with one of my computer programs the other ones can go to my 2nd screen fine. But I need this one to be able to to work on. Any ideas?? Thank you
