A quick question about nvidia surround

crazikyle · February 2, 2015

Tell me if this is in the wrong forum, but I didn't feel like it belonged in troubleshooting or anywhere else, as there is no problem, just some questions.

I like to switch back and forth between 3 surround monitors and 3 separate monitors, one setup for driving games, the other for everything else. Answering one of these two questions will solve all of my problems.

First of all, when I am in surround mode all my windows are messed up at the top and sides, like so:

Any way to fix this?

Other question: When I switch out of surround, my 2 secondary monitors fail to reconnect, and i have to go to control panel and then go and set up multiple displays. A minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.

Fixing anyone of those would be awesome, as it would either enable me to stay in surround 24/7, or seamlessly switch from surround to not surround mode.

Thanks.

I've looked for a fix for the monitor not reconnecting issue, and there doesn't seem to be a fix yet. Nvidia needs to either fix this or it could be a microsoft problem. Also I'm not sure about your messed up window problem...

I'm sure you already have but make sure your drivers are completly updated, and try a different window and see if it also has the same problem.

EDIT: By different window I mean another program.

Drivers are updated, always do a clean install, and steam and geforce experience are also all garbled up, so its not just chrome.
