Good to know. I got my free laptop yesterday from the eMachines settlement and I'm going to load W8 on it today after I make the 5-DVD backup set.

Wow. I attached my big monitor to it, but so far have not figured out how to make it dual-screen. At the moment I'm seeing the same image on both the laptop and the attached monitor. I want them to behave intelligently, e.g. I want to load, say Access, and have the code windows display on one screen and the running app on the other. I know how to do that in Win7 but Win8 is a bit of a new voyage for me. Can anyone help me over this admittedly minor hurdle? -- Arthur Cell: 647.710.1314 Prediction is difficult, especially of the future. -- Niels Bohr _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com This communication and its attachments, if any, may contain confidential and privileged information the use of which by other persons or entities than the intended recipient is prohibited.
