im running windows 7 and i have it set to 4320x900 but have not goten it to run 5040x1050. so what i mean was that proper drivers maybe coming out for windows 7 . sorry for the confusion.

im running windows 7 and i have it set to 4320x900 but have not goten it to run 5040x1050.

4320x900 is the max resolution Win7 (I've installed 64-bit) will automatically support on my Nvidia 260GTX... probably because it's only recognising 'kosher' 60Hz modes. When I installed the Matrox drivers 5040x1050 became an option.

:evil: no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u lie!!!!!!
I MUST HAVE 5040X1050!!!!!!!
:) Oh thanks, i didnt know that.

:? :? seriously, why didnt anyone tell me?
ah i see....mess with the newbie.
i get it now.

well anyway is there a reason why it wont work? will it work in the furture?

I am running Windows 7 64 bit from a clean install and the latest Nvidia 191.07 drivers and Powerdesk 2.05 and can get 1280x1024 on 3 screens to work but i can't get 1280 x 1024 to show up on 1 monitor. It's stretched across all 3 monitors. I can't see what I could be doing wrong here.

Anybody?

Are you toggling between a single and tri-screen setup in the Matrox PowerDesk?

You need to make a profile with each setup that you want in the Matrox PowerDesk, and then assign a hotkey to switch between the two quickly.

I've tried going into powerdesk and changing from 1280x1024(3) to 1280x1024 and clicking apply...I've tried setting resolution through windows control panel and I've tried changing it through the nvida control panel. All result in a very stretched 1280X1024 across 3 monitors.

Now if i disconnect the TH2GO and directly connect 1 monitor to my PC, when i login to windows7 i have no taskbar. If reconnect the TH2GO and try it, the taskbar is back. Something wonky is going on here. It sounds like I'm the only one having this problem. I think at this point I just might start from scratch and reinstall Windows 7

Does sound a bit odd, have you installed the latest video card driver from online? I seem to remember having something similar before I installed the Nvidia display driver.

To get one screen only, I use the Windows resolution setting to change it to 1680x1050 and it automatically goes to one window.
