Does anyone know if any (or all!) of the QL emulators can work on the
second screen of a two-monitor PC setup? My PC can only handle a
single monitor, so although I have QPC, QemuLator and QL2K on this PC,
I can't test them.
I think that what you have to do is drag the application to the edge
of the screen when 2 monitors/2 desktops/wide desktop are in use and
they will 'snap' onto the second screen, though it's a long time since
I used a 2 screen setup.
It's a Quanta helpline request from a member who says this would
influence his choice of which QL emulator he uses on his Windows PC.
He said it'd be handy to leave all his PC applications running on one
monitor and the "QL" by itself on the other, don't know why (unless he
just doesn't want to get caught using a QL at work by being able to
turn off monitor 2 if his boss approaches or something!!!)

Dilwyn,
I have a Vista dual screen setup at my office and at least QPC2 works
perfectly with it. And yes, you simply drag the QL window to the monitor
of choice. This obviously doesn't work in full-screen mode, but
full-screen doesn't work well on modern LCD screens anyhow because they
don't scale well. If I remember right, QPC2 uses the "main" monitor in
full-screen mode.
No idea how the other emulators cope, however - if they use a windowed
mode, I see no reson why it shouldn't work as well.

And, no, I don't use it to hide my QPC windows ;-). Dual screen is just
a charm to work with when you're doing several things in parallel, like
preparing graphics using windows that you want to use on the QL side.
