1312963 2012-11-17 01:36:00 Hey guys, so I've hooked up a 23" as my main display with a 19" for a secondary output (video editing) and my icons on the 23" seem to only stay within the confines of the 19" display, so I cannot move them down as they disappear.

Picture below, thanks.

1312965 2012-11-19 18:44:00 That's odd, you should be able to freely have multiple resolutions and have the icons show happily.

How did you enable the second monitor? My guess would be something like some buggy Intel driver is buggering it up. Disable it temporarily switching back to a single monitor, then re-do it natively within Windows rather than using the driver and my money says it'll work.

In Nvidia control panel you want the tickbox for dualview, or in windows display properties/settings you want "extend my windows desktop onto this monitor" ticked for the secondary screen.

Try what Chill suggested, maybe even disconnect the 2nd monitor temporarily.

1312967 2012-11-19 23:17:00 It's an Nvidia 550 ti. I have no intel drivers on the system, and I tried different settings through both Windows and Nvidia control panel. Drenwick (13216)
1312968 2012-11-20 02:34:00 Unplug your second monitor, upgrade to the latest nVidia driver from nvidia.com, plug in the second monitor, and see how you go. Chilling_Silence (9)
