So here's the problem; and forgive me if this is the wrong forum for these questions; I've been using litestep for 2-3 years now, recently added a second monitor to my setup, now it acts up when Litestep is first started, i'll say, open a copy of outlook and illustrator (any program basically) and drag one to my secondary screen and keep one on the left. Now what happens is I click on the secondary screen, and it immediately flip flops to the other screen and what was on the primary screen disappears (presumedly moves ?left?) Now normally I would think this would be a theme issue and I'd feel stupid for asking, except that even restarting litestep with the default austerity theme it does this. I"m not sure if the problem is related to windowblinds (yes i admitted it forgive me), to litestep itself, to whatever. But it drives me insane when I'm trying to work (graphic design) and I can't use my second monitor.

And sometimes it was seemingly just randomly go away and act perfectly find a normal, but only until litestep is recycled, or restarted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Running winxp sp1, litestep build: LiteStep 0.24.7 Release Candidate 2

Thank you.

I think this has been touched many times before...

It's a module issue... if this isn't locked really quick, someone nice enough might tell you which module you need to use dual mon's.

Otherwise, search the forums.

Thank you. I've got a lot of practical knowledge but always been too busy to dive into config/coding, as i'm not a programmer at all (school is my priority).

Any other comments or suggestions/directions before this thread is shut down (heh.iRn00b) would be greatly appreciated.
