Devil May Cry 4 has NATIVE surround support right out of the box. The only issue is the HUD which is behind the bezels, which any skilled player wont need to look at and might even have turned off! :D

Yo Ben ...
I think it is starting up in a rez/refresh rate that your monitors can't do ...
Are there any config files with settings for the res and refresh rate ?

Hi Ben ... I took a look ...
This is based on the Trial version but I'm sure it is similar for the full game ...

(dunno about vista but would imagine it is similar)
On XP there is a config file created here ... C:Documents and Settings***YOUR NAME***Local SettingsApplication DataCAPCOMDEVILMAYCRY4_TRIAL

It is called ... config.ini ... open it with NotePad ...
Change these two lines ...

[DISPLAY]
Resolution=1280x720
RefreshRate=60Hz

to whatever you desire ... such as ...

[DISPLAY]
Resolution=5040x1050
RefreshRate=57Hz

or ...

[DISPLAY]
Resolution=3840x1024
RefreshRate=60Hz

Just in case anyone can't start the game at all and therefore there is no .ini created ... here are a couple in this zip ... DEVILMAYCRY4_TRIAL_TH_ini.rar
They are called ... 3840 config.ini ... and ... 5040 config.ini
Rename the one you want removing the number at the start so it reads just ... config.ini

Now ... make this folder ...

C:Documents and Settings***YOUR NAME***Local SettingsApplication DataCAPCOMDEVILMAYCRY4_TRIAL
and put the file there ... :D

Hope this helps ...
Please let me know ... 8)
