E-prime and dual screen

[David Hairston]

There are some video cards and drivers that will allow you to play
around with this. For example, we have used NVIDIA drivers' w/ a
dual-head card to re-position certain windows. You can "train" it to
open different programs, dialog boxes, and in some cases even certain
"classes" to open on a specific monitor. Unfortunately I have not had
luck getting this utility to work on the experimental window in E-prime,
however. It seems to run "below" these drivers. However maybe somebody
else has had better luck... and I have not tried recently w/ the latest
drivers.

Hi David,

Thank you for your suggestion. I did change the monitors before. The
problem 
is that I need the primary screen for another application. I assume
E-prime 
will never work on the secondary screen, i.e. there is not a possible
set of 
instructions to make it do that. Is this the case?

Yes, it is actually quite easy.
The key is that the experiment will run on whichever monitor is
designated as the "primary" within Windows. You can change this in the
Display settings.
We like to keep the E-Editor window with debugger open on the Secondary
window, and use it to read output/results from the experiment. Really
nice when you realize the subject is doing everything wrong, etc.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to make the E-prime experiment run on the secondary

screen when you use dual screen configuration?
Thank you in advance.
