Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Distant Suns

I have set up two monitors on my Pentium4 3.2 Ghz with nVidia GeForce 5700 video card. It works like a charm, including for Flight Simulator 2004, except for Distant Suns. This is an astronomy programme and - while it worked OK immediately prior to hooking up the second monitor - now it will not show the stars. A fatal flaw in an astronomy programme :-( . Everything else shows but just not the stars. This applies equally to the current version, Distant Suns 6, and the previous version that I replaced, version 5.3. Anone have any ideas as to how I can overcome this?

Do the stars show when you run it on the other monitor? Does the app have a video overlay setting you can turn off? Have you contacted the company that makes the software for advice?

"Do the stars show when you run it on the other monitor?" No.

"Does the app have a video overlay setting you can turn off?" Not that I can find.

"Have you contacted the company that makes the software for advice?" My experience is that they don't reply to queries

I have diconnected one monitor as an experiment and the programme runs OK again. Butwhen I reconnect the second monitor, the stars go out.
