Hello,
I just found another problem on Windows XP 64. From what I found on the Internet (and in practice) it seems to support the "fullscreen-mode" only on the default screen.
Am I wrong? (I hope so).
So far it seems that I can only use one of the graphics boards, by rendering stereo and switching the NVidia driver to clone mode ...... I think I need to try out Linux!
Kind regards,
Bjoern
