Fourth monitor "moves" after surround mode use Problems with Nvidia surround and four moni
Hey all,

I have a four monitor set up: two 21" (1920x1080), one 23" (1920x1080) and one 19" (1280x1024). I'm running two GTX470's in SLI for the three in surround and a 9600 GSO for my additional display.

I can set the fourth moitor as located above the three in the Win 7 Resolution Control Panel (like an inverted "T"). But if I launch a game and then Alt-Tab to the desktop the fourth display switches to 1920 x 1080 and to being "virtually" located to the left of my other three. I fixed the 1920 x 1080 part but using a DVI to VGA cable but the fourth monitor keeps moving back to the left when I Alt Tab or quit a game. I basically have to continually open the Resolution Control Panel and it's quite tedious. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks!

My setup is attached below:

I looked and I didn't see a "plain" surround section only the "3D" one?

I did set up the blue and red glasses version of 3D does that count? ;)

Thanks!

No I mean, you should have posted this in the "3D Vision Surround" sub-forum instead of this one. That way other users with Surround will see your post, instead of us 1-screen users.
