Cannot move Zune 4.0 window across to second monitor

Cannot move Zune 4.0 window across to second monitor

I have a dual-monitor setup running Vista. I upgraded to the new Zune 4.0 software, and now I cannot drag the Zune window across to the second monitor because of this "snap to window" feature. I.e. whenever the mouse reaches close to the edge of the monitor, the Zune window snaps to it. I tried the keyboard shortcut to move a window, but the Move menu in the Zune window is disabled!

"What worked for me:

In Settings\Software\Display, set screen graphics to Basic.
Exit and restart Zune.

At this point you should be able to drag the Zune window to another monitor with no problems.

Setting the screen graphics back up to Premium doesn't cause the bug to recur, surprisingly."

"For Zune Software Version 4.2.202.0

Restore window so it is not full screen, and is not minimized.
Right-click the Zune entry in the task bar.
Left-click ""Move""
Press the arrow keys on the keyboard to move it to the other monitor.
Do not resize it while on the other monitor, or it will jump back to the primary screen."

"Maybe Actual Window Manager is for you.

Move to Monitor - left-click this button to move a window to the monitor that is assigned in your system as next to that one the desired window currently resides on. Right-click this button to display a context menu with the list of available monitors - the menu item corresponding to the monitor window is currently on is checked; clicking another item will quickly move a window to this item's corresponding monitor.

Actual Window Manager is shareware, try before you buy.

My personal opinion? It's well worth the money, certainly the best window manager I have seen with great multi-monitor support (including start button(s) on the extended task bar for each monitor). Their claim ""The Most Feature-Rich and Comprehensive Window Manager for Microsoft® Windows® in the World!"" is probably true!"
