Second Monitor Preview Window size?

Just experimeting, I added a old PCI video card to an open slot and hooked up a 2nd monitor. Dragging the Vegas Video Preview window over to the second monitor works fine. However I want to increase the size of the preview size on the second monitor to fill that screen or there is little point to using a second monitor.

Apparently you can't adjust anything to do that or am I wrong?

Example:

I have the preview window set for 352x240 and the display set to show as project size. In this case project size only fills a little over a third of the monitor screen when the second video card is set to a screen resolution of 800x600 (its only a 14 inch monitor). By dropping the second video card resolution to 640x480 you of course increase the size, but still only fill roughly have the screen.

Isn't there some way to have the preview window on the second monitor show full screen? Dragging the window only increases the size of the window, not the preview contained there in.

If you keep dragging the edge of the preview box, it will eventually jump up to the 740X480 mode. It seems that this may be larger than your 640X480 setting on your monitor, so you may have to switch back to 800X600 in order to accomodate the preview window. I believe that may do the trick.

The trouble is, when you get so big on the preview menu, it displays quite a bit fewer fps and with crossfades, fx, etc. you will be looking at a very jumpy preview.

Hope this helps.
