| Post subject: | All kinds of Surround issues |
Hi everyone, I've been using Surround on my GTX-660 3Gb (using three monitors) for a while now, but some things keep bugging me. -I have to switch back from Surround to normal when I stop gaming, otherwise my firefox (and others) window maximizes over 3 screens. -When I stop Surround it shuts down my left and right monitor. -When I stop Surround all my desktop icons have shifted to other places. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. |

when you shut down Surround, do you use WindowsKey+P ? |

I have had the same problems, and I gave up switching back and forth between surround and extended mode. To keep the windows on the correct monitor and prevent maximizing across all three screens, I have been using DeskSoft's WindowManager. Works for explorer windows and most programs. http://www.desksoft.com/WindowManager.htm For example, I have a desktop shortcut labeled "Desktop Right" and it is trained to open on the right monitor. Same for a "Desktop Left". Most other programs (Firefox e.g.) are trained to open on center monitor. Though some (like iTunes) are trained to open on the left or right. Works quite well (I have been through so many programs!) and I just upgraded to 3 Asus 27" screens and had to retrain all my programs for the new resolution, but after 20 minutes, back in business. For the Start Bar, I use a QuickLaunch Menu to fill the entire left side with shortcuts to Games, and this leaves the open applications on the center screen. I use a second QuickLaunch Menu on the right side for applications. Been working like this for years now, have not used extended mode during that time. |
