    7057 - can't put shortcuts on second monitor


    Upgraded from 7048 to 7057 today. I have 2 LCD monitors running off a Nvidia 7800 GTX.
    After it finished, all my desktop shortcuts were on the secondary monitor (left), and I can't move them to the primary monitor (right).
    I can open programs and move them to either screen, and the taskbar will work on either screen. Gadgets work fine on either screen.

    I can't create a shortcut or a new file on the primary monitor on the right.
    I was using UltraMon 3.0.4, and tried uninstalling it, and installing an older version, with no improvement.
    If I make the left screen primary, then I can create & move shortcuts to either screen. However, using UltraMon puts the taskbar & extended taskbar on the same (left) screen.

    Booting into Vista 32 or Win7 64 shows both screens working ok.

    Hello all.


    I've been playing around with this and the Icons ARE there, just not visible; this is an icon when I point to it.

    Go figure. .....

    I'm pretty sure this topic is related to the same bug as this one.
