Mine did the same thing with AOL. All I use now is Microsoft Internet Explorer. as that has worked fine for me. Try to minimize the AOL page (not completly, just make it smaller), and then try to move it over---thats how my AOL works to get it on the other screen. I like M.I.E as the pages that open up in it are larger than on AOL's. Hope this helps.

Try changing the screen resolutions. Its quite possible that each window you open is set for a specific res, and youre adaptor isnt allowing it go beyond its default.
Practice with a few resolutions, and see what happens.

make sure the window you are dragging to the other monitor is not maximized. Click the second button from the right to restore to standard window size, and then drag the window over to the other monitor....I hope this helps...

I'm assuming your using IE. Make sure all instances of IE are not maximized, and drag the one you'd like to the other monitor...I hope this helps...

LOL Ktrain, My wife has pics of me working two computers, with two keyboards, mice, monitors, before the multi monitor capabilities were introduced..it was faster, and more efficient to use multiple PC's to multitask....LOL....seems like so long ago But I admit, I still "multitask multiple PC's" LOL....
