[dba-Tech] Using Dual Monitors

My problem was with Remote Desktop being reset to show 
640x480 local.  That caused sliders on the bottom and side 
which doesn't work well.

Somehow it was reset when I switched which monitor was the 
"main" monitor.

I just had to go back in and set the resolution to "full 
screen" and it works fine.
