Hi,
When I run MAME games always appear on my 3rd monitor rather than the first as evident by this:
 


C:\Arcade\Emulators\MAME>mame -verbose

Video: Monitor 0a85c6b4 = "\\.\DISPLAY2"

Video: Monitor 0a85c96c = "\\.\DISPLAY3" (primary)

I see reference online to changing the screen setting in mame.ini from auto to \\.\DISPLAY1, but this doesn't seem to work. Have the below section in my mame.ini, but it still appears on the 3rd monitor:


#

# OSD VIDEO OPTIONS

numscreens                1

maximize                  1

resolution3               auto

view3                     auto

Can anyone help? TIA
