Widescreen Gaming Forum

Long story short, upgraded recently, setup to maximize to cell, maximized, and it ignores the task bar and maximizes to the screen. In otherwords, its cutting off my statue bar of every window I maximize, anyone know a fix for this or do I need to rollback the drivers again to before they changed the interface?

Nevermind I fixed it, right click task bar -> auto hid on -> apply -> auto hide off -> apply, and fixed.

This seems like a good place to post this issue I am having. When I use the CTRL+Maximize option to maximize a window such as Firefox or Wordpad across all 3 displays, the right end of the maximized window extends off the end of the RH LCD display. It is far enough extended that the typical controls (the underscore, box, and "X") for controlling a window are not visible. This is happening in Windows 7 - 64-bit Home Premium on a newly installed system. I never had this issue while using my digital triplehead2go on a Windows XP system. Only the RH end is off the "desktop". The LH end of the maximized window is fine, as are the top and bottom.

Note that in order to actually keep the 3 displays from going to sleep when the Win7 GUI starts, I am being forced to use an older archived Vista 64-bit driver. I have tried all the Windows 7 drivers released by Nvidia on this particular 9800 GTX card and none of them prevent my displays from going to sleep once Win7 gets to the desktop. I have also seen others metioning this same problem online. So far the workaround with the Vista driver hasn't given me any issues (unless this turns out to be one) and I can play games, such as Half-Life2 CM10 on the full 3 displays.

It may be an issue with the Win7x64 software for the TripleHead2Go. I use a BFG GeForce 9800 GTX 512 OC card, so the first thing I tried was the Nvidia control panel's advanced controls which have a tool for monitor centering. It has no effect, likely because of the T2G being used. I miss having the ability to move a display position on these LCD displays like we had on CRT displays, or it might have been that easy to fix. But my displays don't allow positioning.

The next thing I tried was digging around in PowerDesk and GXM to see if there was some way to help this issue but didn't find anything there either.

I can circumvent the issue by not using the CTRL+Maximize function, and simply drag the window's borders to fill the triple displays. But if there is a fix for this I would like to implement it.

Has anyone else seen this?
