I upgraded my brothers computer from Win7 to Win8 then discovered that his monitor didn't have a high enough resolution for "Metro" apps.
Fortunately the video card supports two monitors, so I plugged in an additional old CRT monitor I had.
Now I can start a Metro app, and drag it onto the unsupported monitor, and it just works.
Seems like a pointless limitation that I have to do the run around of starting the app on the other monitor first.
The low res monitor is 720p resolution.
Yes, I know I can upgrade the monitor. That's my brothers decision. His income is somewhat limited as he is on disability from a 1981 car accident.
By the way, when will Moore's law get cars to be more advanced so we can get the number of people killed by them each year - currently at 1 million - reduced?
