| Post subject: | WINDOWS 8 |
How do you configure windows 8 to work with Nvidia 3D Surround? Right now I can not get the charm bar to come up which severely limits me. I'm using the latest 64 bit Win 8 nvidia drivers and dual gtx 480's. In desktop mode, I have it configured to Span all 3 displays with Surround. |

I got the charms bar to work by using the Win 7 295.73 driver instead of the 296.17 win 8 driver. But still, how do you get Apps to open to only one screen instead of spanning across all three screens? When or if I figure that out, I will post a reply to that as well. |

| Post subject: | Win 8 modes |
Ok, Win + P will give available modes. Clicking on Extend will give you one screen of Metro UI and one screen of desktop mode. But the rightmost screen goes black. My conclusion is that there is no 3 monitor support for 3D Surround yet. I would like to eventually be able to use the Win arrow keys to move Apps around from one window to another while in Spanned Nvidia 3D Surround mode. |

What little time I had to play with Windows 8 in a proper install, rather than Virtual Machine, left me less than impressed. The beta drivers (302.something?) for Win 8 may improve things, if you haven't tried them already? |

Not sure how it works with surround but it works perfectly with eyefinity. I couldn't live with myself if my taskbar didn't stretch across all 3 screens but luckily it does. |

| Post subject: | NVSurround should work in |
NVSurround should work in Windows 8 afaik. My friend runs Windows 8 on 2x 670 sli for a few weeks now. I believe it works for him with all recent driver updates since 301.42 (hasnt tried earlier versions). Only thing he runs into is that he cant center the taskbar on one screen and cant maximize on one screen. |
