    Does anyone know of a program like Asus' Multiframe? That is, a program that will allow you to move a frame to one side or another on the screen with a simple click. I tried installing Multiframe on another computer, non-Asus and it said it would only work on an Asus computer. We got a 22" monitor at work that could really use a program like this. Thanks.

    I don't understand exactly what you expect the program to do, either. Maybe because I've never had it.

    OK. Multiframe allows you to resize a window into preset patterns. You can make it take up 50% of the left side or right side of the screen, 25% of the screen in the corners, or 50% of the screen at the top or bottom. This will allow you to quickly resize multiple frames of what ever you're looking at. Nice when you need to look at two different word documents at the same time or what ever. If you haven't used it, you're missing out on an outstanding program. I use it all the time.

    Hmm that's called window tiling. There should be other (Read: less buggy) software that can do the same thing. Perhaps some video drivers have the feature? I know nVidia has a multiple desktop control tool (or smth like that) but I always disable it. :)

    Hey thanks EBE. I couldn't find the right words to do a good search on it. I'll look into window tiling and check out the Nvidia software.
