In the hexidecimal part of the registry you can put numbers and letters and in the decimal portion you can only put numerical values. That 4 billion number I posted definitely works and sticks, I'm just not sure why. Maybe there is some sort of code in windows that means that the 429496xxxx denotes a negative number. The last 4 numbers correlate to the amount of pixel deslpacement beyond the negative. | |

| Feb 9, 2010 at 21:45 | comment | added | dfree | Great find! This is exactly they keys I was looking for. Modifying the relativeY value in two places and then restarting the extended desktop usb driver causes it to shift. Now here's the remaining problem: Because of the way the monitors are configured, I need to put in a NEGATIVE value. How would I do that? Putting in a positive value only puts the monitor I need even lower. Here is my setup: 2 3 1 Those are the monitor numbers (1 and 2 are touching and three is off to the side). Changing the attach.relativeY value makes 3 appear to go even lower, I want to raise it. | |
