Then you can drag the edges to re-size the window, or use the square button in the top right hand corner to toggle full screen mode. Best, Chantelle

If the Band-in-a-Box window opens fully that means the lower resolution monitor maybe constraining the Band-in-a-Box windows. Then connect the lower resolution monitor as monitor 2. Does the Band-in-a-Box window expand full size now? You may find the lower resolution monitor is constraining how large the Band-in-a-Box window will open.

Now I have 3 monitors and it doesn't work on the second monitor neither the third!

My first monitor is my laptop. EDIT: It is possible, if I select the secondary screen as primary, I can resize full screen. But this is not a solution... too many other programs (and the position of my pc on the desk) need that I use my laptop screen as primary display. Last edited by Franco1964; 01/31/22 08:09 AM.

You could make a Windows display profile that sets your external monitor to the same resolution as your laptop display. Many monitors will allow resolutions to be changed while in use.
