Can I run CiC on a widescreen laptop? Yes. In ‘Tools’ choose ‘Configuration’ then tick the box that says ‘Use Widescreen Setting’ When I am running MEDiVision programs on a laptop connected to a second monitor, I can only see the program on one screen. On laptops you need to tell the computer that you have an additional monitor connected. Press and hold the ‘Function’ button (Fn) and press the screen selection button (this is usually F5 or F7, but does vary by computer make). This button will ‘toggle’ the options between laptop screen only, monitor only and both.
