Multi display problems

I tired posting this on other forums but have had no replies maybe you guys can pls help me...

Hey there everyone,

I recently got 2 spare 19" dell monitors (non widescreen 1280x1024) from work. I already use one 24" widescreen (1920x1200)monitor. I wanted to have a try at a triple screen display.
heres my current config:
GPU: Nvidia 7950 GX2- OC'd at 585/700 on driver 181.22
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 2.0GHz - OC'd at 2.45GHz
Motherboard: EVGA NF41
RAM: 4gigs DDR Corsair - (3.25) not all recognized because 4 gig cap on mobo
Monitor: 24" westinghouse @ 1920 X 1200 60Hz
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
HDD: 80GB Hitachi Deskstar 7K80 - Rotational Speed 7200 RPM, Max. Internal Data Rate 757 Mbit/s

well I got WARhammer online running now on my main display but have come across problems since i bought the usb device and hooked up 3 monitors.

Problem #1. Now, whenever i uncheck fullscreen mode to try to run the game in windowed mode, the whole game freaks out (even in titlle/load screen). Their is a single image of like a random menu frame tiled out over my whole display and i cant see what i'm doing. The game never used to do this before when i ran windowed mode. it seems it only stops doing that when i make windowed mode to resolution of 1440x900 and below. I even tried setting it all back to my origional display, now the game just does that, 3 monitors or not. picture: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums [...] messup.jpg


#2. the third monitor is setup to the usb to vga adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 815101001. any monitor on the adapter turns all black on the display when i mouse over to it.... but if i drag a window around on that monitor it can erase all the black away wherever the window touches it. after i do this, it eventuall blacks out again. (the other 2 monitors hooked up to my graphics card work fine).

#3. Windows media player now lags very much when i try to play video on the main screen (24" 1920x1200), especially laggy in fullscreen. the other monitors can play media player fine when i drag it over though. Curiously, VLC media player works fine on all 3.

#4. Youtube and hulu (i think its a flash problem) cannot fullscreen on my main monitor (24" 1920x1200). When i try to fullscreen it produces the same effect as problem #1. Oddly, if i right click the flash player settings and turn off hardware acceleration this effect goes away and fullscreen work again for the flash player.

#5. I don't know if this is really a problem or a good thing but my FPS in WAR has nearly doubled for some unknown reason. Before i even attempting installing new monitors i had always gotten an avg of 30 FPS and 10 FPS in keep fights. Now, after putting in the new monitors my FPS is now an avg of 60!!!! its noticebly smoother. I tried unhooking the 2 new monitors and the FPS is still doubled at 60. I made sure under nvidia options, to "enable multi GPU mode" and it was still running at 60 FPS. Then, i switched from "enable multi GPU mode" to "select the display to view Multi-GPU renderered content on" option..... it still ran at 60 FPS. I have no idea why my fps suddenly got better, but im not complaining just very confused when i been running at 30fps since release. (nvidia wont allow me to run the other monitors when i select the "enable multi GPU mode" )

I guess my most troublesome problems are that I cannot run the thrid monitor thats on the adapter. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6815101001 Maybe its defective because I got it OEM from newegg? But then someone told me that it also might be because you need 2 cpus to run 2 graphics cards.... I have never heard of this. any ideas why the adapter wont work? (all the monitors are on extend)

The other most serious problem is the Windowed Mode in WAR not working anymore. Besides the fact that I just cant see anything, I won't be able to click on another monitor while WAR is running on another because it minimizes WAR if its on fullscreen.


ahhhhg so panic-confused please help!

PS. I am running WAR fullscreen on the main display. the other 2 monitors are just extended for movie/web browse
