NX Dual Monitor Issue
NX Dual Monitor Issue
(OP)
Hello All,
I finally received some new hardware (Dell T5400, NVIDIA Quadro FX570, but old HP 19L1906 Monitors and system is running 32 bit..not 64) and it cured what appeared to be a selection limit issue in NX7.5. I couldn't use the lasso at all..but that is fixed now.
However, I can no longer resize NX across multiple monitors. It instantly crashes. I tried fixing this by moving my Resource Bar to a toolbar and working with it's components in individual windows over on the other Monitor, but I am not satisfied. Do you know of some setting I need to adjust to allow this to perform better? Also, I just tried another test and switching back out of full-screen display (on just the one monitor) produced the same error: "Fatal error detected unable to continue died displaying error message"
Any help or suggestions will be rewarded with good cheer. I noticed in another post (thread561-280195: Problems with GTAC Support) that improvements were being made so I bet there is a solution.
Thanks for your time!

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Are there nay problems if you just move say the Navigators or Menus/Dialogs to one display but leave the graphics window on the other without any atempt to span the same window across both monitors?

Also, the Monitors are the same. As a bonus, while verifying their settings I stumbled upon the nView display mode: "As one large horizontal desktop (Horizontal span)"...this cured my complaint. I like it. Maximizing windows across two screens can be annoying or take some getting used to in other programs, but it is better than crashing NX! ((I'll post back here this week if I discover any further issues with it.))
Thanks everyone for your replies, and have a great Holiday!

if it's driver related you should find something like below the key part being (nvoglnt):
+++ General Fault Exception
[ 1] 698267F9 (nvoglnt)
>>>> O/S ERROR: signal 11 caught in file ".\EVTLoop.cpp" at line number 1526
>>>> O/S ERROR: signal 11 caught in file "O:\ugnx505\ip3\src\ugui\no\ind\dlg_main.c" at line number 1609
!!!&MACRO DIALOG_END -3, 0 ! : Auto Cancel
That means that the open gl driver was what brought down NX. The best course of action is to update to the certified driver from the GTAC site: ht
