Always need 2nd monitor for desktop
« on: November 17, 2023, 03:57:24 am »
Hey all, I've got my 4 player cab working great. Games all look terrific. The one thing I'm having trouble with is that when i go back to the desktop to do administrative work, the resolution is incorrect with a lot of my screen cut off not letting me get anything done. So i connect a 2nd lcd monitor and switch to that in display settings. I'd like to not monkey with the 2nd screen and in fact I am trying to work on the pc remotely using team viewer, but unfortunately it shows me exactly what I see on the crt. I wasn't expecting that.
It's been awhile since i set everything up and i don't want to mess up how well the games are working. Is it possible to get the correct resolution when I'm in windows, or am i chained to that second monitor?

Maybe you've set a superresolution for your desktop?
