whenever the associated application is activated. The Preset Mode assigned to a
particular application may be the same on each connected monitor, or it can vary
from one monitor to the next.
Dell Display Manager is pre-configured for many popular applications. To add a new
application to the assignment list, simply drag the application from the desktop,
Windows Start Menu or elsewhere, and drop it onto the current list.

and non-executable les such as zip archives or packed les, are not
supported.
You can also configure the Game preset mode to be used whenever a Direct3D
application runs in full-screen mode. To prevent an application from using mode,
assign a different preset mode to it.

the monitor. Next, drag an open window across the monitor. While the window is
