Multiple Monitor Troubles(no, not 3d surround)
I made the error of updating my graphics drivers (I should have stuck with the ancient ones that worked, but a certain game was having issues with 3dvision) and have discovered with the 260.99 driver set that 3d vision works fine UNTIL I extend my desktop onto my other non-3d capable monitor. When the desktop is extended and I run the nvidia stereoscopic 3d test, it is as though it renders almost half-3D. Hard to describe.

When I was using what I think were the 196.21 drivers I didnt have this problem. However, I dont want to be stuck using majorly old graphics drivers for obvious reasons if I dont have to. I suspect this issue may have *something* to do with 3d surround functionality that has been added to the drivers(I'm not trying to set up 3d surround), but I dont see anything in the nvidia control panel that would allow me to check. I would really hate to have to either revert my drivers or stop using my second monitor (once you go with 2 monitors, you cant go back :P ).

Anyone encountered this and/or have a solution for me?

Thanks!
