Re: [Avid-L2] Nvidia + Windows + Avid = boot to the left screen?

 

Yes. This is how we do it and is effectively the same as Mr. Lawson's procedure.

Close all applications.
Open the NVidia Control Panel.
Disable the 2nd monitor.
Renable the 2nd monitor, making sure primary/secondary and positioning settings are correct.
Close the Control Panel.
Launch Avid.

The Nvidia settings sometimes get corrupted. If you are installing new drivers make sure you select "safe" installation, which deletes all previous custom settings.

That makes sense.  But there must be a way to do the same thing without the hassle.

This has worked for me in the past.

Disconnect the second monitor entirely. Reboot and force your system on to a single primary monitor. Check all the settings in the NVidia control panel. If there's time, do a clean re install of your NVidia drivers.

All good. Now shut down. Connect the second monitor. Start up. See if that does the trick.

Have seen that as well. Monitor placing voodoo. Never understood how it worked and why. Have had to physically move monitors around to get them in the proper order.

Weird thing often seen on brand new PCs, MC starting on the right monitor and spanning over a third, not installed monitor further right. Swapping cables doesn't work, You have to physically move the left monitor to the right and set the control panel accordingly. Never understood the reason why, probably the nVidia card has embedded information on a main monitor port that has to be set up like MC likes or things will work in the weird fashion You describe,
