I have 3 screens hooked upto my computer. I want to play a game on the center and have other apps on the other 2. But every time I click on lets say a webpage the game minimizes. Is there an easy way to stop the game from minimizing.

Got a similar Situation here and no clue on how to fix it.

Aslso it bothers me that the Game always starts on the left CRT and not on the one in the middle.

any hints?

THX in advance

Doh, if they are nVidia based, just ensure that the centre monitor is No1 using the nView options...

THX, fixed it.

Another Question:
I just started "Vietcong" and selected 2560x1024 - worked fine!
But, how can I manage to play on all 3 Monitors?
I can only set 2 Displays in a "overspanned mode", the third is only added like a "NV-Dualview"-Display, what means that I can expand Windows over all 3 Displays but the Wallpaper for example is only spanned over 2 Displays, the third shows the same Wallpaer like a "compressed Clone". Not easy to discribe in broken english ;)
I mean, in the Display Properties the Displays are shown like this: [2][1a][1b]
What I want have is [1a][1b][1c]...

Im using a GF6800 (for 1a and 1b) and a GF-FX5200 PCI (for 2).

THX for your HELP

:(

Thank you anyway.

Do I really have to buy a damned DX7 Parhelia?

It is possible, I have seen it with my own eyes!

I would have a look at the info at the Matrox Site, plenty of it works just fine with nVidia setups.

There is some (oldish) info here.

Oh, Toms has some stuff too

thank you for these links.

those are all for 2 monitors setups on nvidia, not 3
Preacha   2004-10-14 09:40
right

Er, no. The Matrox site is aimed at Parhelias using 3 monitors and the PQ one was up to 5 I think...
