Dropdown Problems with dual monitors

[trison]

I'm running a quadro board with dual monitor output and whenever I put lightwave windows on the second monitor the dropdown menus don't work. Has anyone else seen this? I've gone through all the settings for nview but nothing has helped.

It has something to due with Open-Gl on the out put for the second monitor I bet, Do a search on dual monitors / open GL on this site and you will find some helpful info.

Anyone know something more??

I don't think it's the open Gl. My 3d open Gl works just fine on both monitiors (attached to the same card) and I think the dropdown menus are direct draw anyway.

Go to the Settings tab in your Display Properties and drag monitor 2 to the right side of monitor 1.

That worked but it makes no sense. my second monitor is the smaller of the two and is situated on the left of the larger main monitor. I guess I have to rearrange my desk now. Strange...

Thanks for your help

Yeah that's where I put mine first off too... then I tried getting used to having my monitor physically on the left, but extended to the right in Windows. That just got confusing, and I had to rearrange both monitors. But glad I could help you out.
