Dual Monitor in Premiere Pro CC

Just upgraded yesterday like thousands of others.  Didn't have any issues whatsoever.  Opened Premiere again this morning and the dual monitor support is gone.  I go to Preferences -> Playback and the box is still checked from yesterday.  I unchecked it, saved, restarted the computer, relaunched, re-enabled it and still the second monitor only shows my desktop.  Fired up After Effects and dual monitor support still works just fine.  My coworker hasn't had the same problem.  I'm on a 2012 iMac with 20 gigs of Ram, using a DVI to Thunderbolt adaptor for the second monitor.  Again, second monitor works fine for everything but Premiere and it was working yesterday.  Any ideas?

    Thank you for the quick reply.  I came back to post that we had solved it when I saw your post.  In my case, the issue was that Premiere was "overhanging" just a pixel or two onto my second monitor which was preventing it from using it as a second display.  Not sure how that happened, but thought I'd share in case someone else has the same issue.  I will keep your tip in mind too for the future. 

    Thanks.

    Hi Chris,

    New in CC we added a setting in the Program Monitor panel menu to Enable and Disable Transmit (you can also assgin a keyboard shortcut). One thought is you may have disabled Transmit without knowing it.

    Try these two steps to verify Transmit is enabled:

    1. Go to the Program Monitor panel menu> Verify 'Enable Transmit' has a checkmark.

    2. Go to Preferences> Playback> Verify the your 2nd monitor is present and checked (sounds like you already did this).

    Let me know if that resolves or does not resolve your problem.

        Saved me from busting a temple vein.  I was apparently .667 pixels spilling onto my 2nd monitor, and that was enough to be a deal breaker.  Much relief and thanks, Chris.
