Problems on system with two monitors

from Stardock Forums

I'm running ObjectDock on a laptop with an extra external monitor.

Everything seems to work fine if I leave the dock on the primary monitor, but I've run into a couple of problems if i move the dock to the second monitor. Biggest problem is that I cant drag icons anymore. I can pick them up, but dropping in a different location just causes them to fly back to the original location. new shortcuts can't be dragged onto the dock, and nothing can be dragged into the recycle bin. I can drag icons off the dock to delete them though.

Aside from that, spacers seem to leave artifacts in their location on the opposite monitor, and a dock placed on the border between monitors slides onto one when it autohides on the other, though I realize thats more of an issue with windows than ObjectDock.

I've also had it crash my display driver, generally when I have it running at the same time as a Steam game. Probably unrelated to the dual monitors, but I figured I'd leave it in the same topic.

I've had this happen as well.  The screen coordinates on the second monitor aren't mapped correctly, so the dock is drawn in one place, but is active elsewhere.

A couple things to try. Use display properties and drag the second monitor to the opposite side of the first. Also, if they are at different resolutions, try aligning the top edge or bottom edge of the displays.
