I've two PC with dual monitors, with the same configuration (USB to VGA converter, same USB port, same VGA port on the second monitor), same drivers, same version, same Windows (Seven Professional), sames monitors with sames resolution, same on everything I know how to access to.
I've an app on which when I click on a button --> display another maximized window.
On the first PC, the app work correctly, the other maximized window display in full screen on the second monitor.
On the second PC, the app doesn't work correctly ! ):
When I click on the button the other maximized window just open (maximized) on the first monitor, the principal where the app is displayed (as same as the first PC).
So I've tried to
change the screen order (put 1 on left of 2 or 2 on left of 1)
check if the drivers have a problems, but no (no warning or interrogation sign in the "Uninstall a program" program
change size resolution on both screens but nothing
un-maximize the second window's app and close it on the correct screen, nothing, the window just maximize and display on the bad screen like before
Sooooooo I've no idea of where the problem could came...
Sorry if my English is bad and thanks in advance for your answers you're my last resort.
Have a nice day

I'm running a Windows 10 system with one touch screen, one normal screen and no mouse or keyboard. I need to run an application with administrator privileges.
I'm worried about which screen the Account Control popup will appear on - if it appears on the non-touch screen then users will have no way to allow the program to run.
I know that:
It runs on screen 2 on my development PC (with mouse and keyboard, no touch screen), regardless of whether screen 2 is on the left or right
It runs on the same screen regardless of whether the application was launched by a shortcut on the left or right screen.
I tried to google this, but the only things that came back were links on how to disable User Account Control, which we really don't want to do.
What is the logic that determines which screen the popup appears on?
[Edit for new things I have tried]
Unplugging screen 2, running the application, closing the application, plug screen 2 back in.
Dragging the UAC popup to screen 1, clicking details, changing UAC settings and returning them to the original state.
[SOLVED]
I figured it out (at least partially) but I can't mark it as answered for at least two days.
Basically, after unplugging and replugging screens the other way around, changing the primary display worked. This didn't work until after I did the plug/unplug, but there's no guarantee that was the thing that did it, since I'd tried a few other things.
So after physically unplugging and replugging monitors so that screen one became screen 2 and the reverse, switching which screen was the primary display works to control the popup now.
Changing the primary display didn't work before. But it does now. I have no idea why - there's no guarantee that it was to do with switching them around.
I would suspect it to pop up by default on the primary display, but remember its last position. This would appear to be confirmed by TechNet: UAC Prompt displays on 2nd monitor only RRS feed:
escknx:
Regardless of what I try, UAC prompts display only on 2nd monitor, while everything else works fine on primary monitor.
Stereoman:
drag the UAC Prompt to your Primary Monitor and click show more details on the prompt then click change when these notifications appear, another UAC window will open up with a vertical bar with 4 different settings, just drag the bar setting down and then back up to it's original setting position then click ok, this will re trigger UAC's screen position to your primary monitor.
So: upon deployment, make sure the touch screen is your primary display, and position the UAC popup there if it isn't.
Using macos Big Sur on a MBP.
I use a second screen, pluggued on hdmi. I place some windows/apps on the 2nd screen.
But when I disconnect/unplug the 2nd screen (to work on the canape for example), the apps do not come back to the main screen, as it does on Windows. And I can still move the mouse to the 2nd screen, even it is disconnected.
Is there a good way to simply disconnect and work on only one screen ?
I've found a solution here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57620/macbook-unplugged-from-external-monitor-thinks-its-still-the-secondary-desktop
Just type Cmd + Brightness Up and it comes back to normal. And when the screen is plugued, the windows are redispatched as before. Nice... But why this shortcut ?
I have created an absolute mouse piece of hardware.
This is very much like a wacom tablet, but it just uses a regular mouse going into a piece of hardware that then increments or decrements the X and Y coordinates in order to specify the exact location of the mouse (yes I need to do this for another reason).
While everything works fine on multiple operating systems, it works fine on Mac OSX Yosemite except ---->
When I move to the dock, if I click on an icon it will not start the application, I can move the icon and once open I can close the app or scroll, anything you would expect from a mouse, it will not start properly. Also the back arrow in the system settings/preferences will only operate if I am on the exact right location on the button, i.e. normally there is no back action, but if I mess with it and get it in just the right location it will finally work.
This sounds like an oversight in the operating system, does anyone have any insight into this?
I have an issue where a program that runs fine under windows xp has stopped working with windows 7. The application appears to start fine then disappears with only the taskbar icon remaining. If you hover over the taskbar icon you can see the application and it kind of looks correct but selecting it does nothing. I cannot seem to get the application to actually appear. Has anyone experienced anything like this and is aware of any possible solutions?
Recent builds have worked with windows 7 in the past and I don't believe any significant changes were made before this issue arrived.
Thanks
It may be the program is running but somewhere off screen. Shift-right-click the taskbar button and select "Move." Press the arrow keys to begin the move, then move your mouse to attach the movement to the mouse cursor. See if that brings the app to the primary monitor.
If not, you may have an incompatibility issue which will require more research/investigation.
Holding down the Windows key and the letter P at the same time will allow you to change your projector settings. Select the "Duplicate" option. As mentioned above, this usually occurs when you typically use a dual monitor but switch to a single monitor.
When I'm working at home I plug my MacBook in to my 20" monitor as a second (right side) monitor. I do all my editing in Xcode on the larger monitor, and leave the menu bar, debugging and documentation on the laptop's monitor.
The problem is when I disconnect from the second monitor and want to work on code in "laptop" mode. Now, whenever I open a file for editing, it shows up almost entirely off the screen and I have to drag it over to edit it. I understand (sort of) why this is happening, since I last had it open in a different monitor. What I'd like to do is reset the window positions in Xcode so the edit windows show up completely on the laptop monitor. Any ideas on how to do this?
I'd even be willing to nuke entries out of the preferences (or set up an applescript to do it) but the xcode plist is inscrutable to me.
Right click the project in finder, select show package contents, and delete the two username.* files. Its not automated... but it works.
Additionally if your using some kind of version control system you probably want to add username.* to your ignore pattern.
