    I have a laptop hooked up to an external monitor. When I select "tile tables" in Poker stars the tables tile on my laptop screen instead of my external monitor. Does anyone know how to designate my external monitor as my primary so i can tile the tables on that screen instead of the laptop?

    i have no idea why this happens but you should try to tile on full tilt. they all tile on ur external monitor only. its so weird. stars tiles on laptop. full tilt on external. anyone know why?

    I do the same thing and the only way I found to counteract this is to set up tables however you want and save it as a layout. On other option that might work (haven't tried it) would be to have the comp set to a single display (external monitor), tile the tables and save it as a layout, then run extended desktop and try running the layout. If you try that, let me know if it works at all.

    Gray... I have also been saving the custom layouts. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a preference option or something similar to make the change. Thanks guys.

    right click
    on desktop, go to properties, then go to the settings tab and make sure u click screen 2 as the primary monitor... also make sure u restart computer before doing this to make sure it works.

    I have the same problem sorta, When I tile on pokerstars they tile on my Attached monitor. They also only cascade on my Primary Monitor. Ftp does it on w/e screen you want though :).
