213926 2004-02-09 06:55:00 Hi guys,

Have a dual monitor setup on my FX5900 Ultra. One LCD, another CRT. I wanted to be able to play FPS games on one screen, and check my email on the other... the problem is that when I am playing the FPS games, I can see the mouse cursor shift over onto the other screen, and when I shoot, it selects that particular application and drops me out of the game!

Is there a way around this, or do I need to turn extend desktop off??

Lo.

213927 2004-02-09 07:59:00 Have you got the latest NView package from nvidia? I'm not sure but they might have started including it with their driver packages. Or it could be seperate. Is it called NView? Maybe its twinview or something.

They are a pain in the neck to get going properly eh. I guess sometimes you just have to fiddle round till you get it how you want it. If you get it going right, tell us how you did it because we have a dual monitor setup here too and it doesn't work too well.

213928 2004-02-09 08:01:00 Well I've got everything working just nicely at the moment, except for gaming... :( ... In what way does your dual monitor setup not work too well?

Lo.
