Summary:

SYMPTOMS

CodeView always starts in single-monitor mode, even though a

secondary monitor is connected to the system.

CAUSE

Command line switches must be specified to run in dual-monitor

mode.

RESOLUTION

Select the CodeView for Windows (CVW) program icon in the Program

Manager. Then choose the Properties item from the File menu. In the

Properties dialog box, modify the command line to specify the

appropriate switch after "CVW.EXE." What switch to specify is

determined by the type of secondary display in use. The following

table summarizes the alternatives:
