Nvidia 2D Surround Questions - Reinstalling drivers
Posted: 17 Jan 2011, 01:32
I just updated the bios of my video cards (EVGA GTX 580 SC in SLI) to a new bios. Followed the directions regarding uninstalling the drivers (driver sweeper, etc) and reinstall them. All went fairly well but I have noticed 2 things since doing this.
1. In 2D surround when I get to the windows login screen my primary monitor (in the middle) is active and the 2 outside ones are not. They use to be prior to the update with a portion of the login screen visable. For some reason I cannot use my mouse at this point to navigate to my login but can use the keyboard. It will load to windows in 2D Surround but it takes longer since I think it is detecting the screens on the left and right. Anyway to get my original logon screens working properly?
2. I had to of course reconfigure 2d Surround and got that working but with the exact same bezel adjustment I get different resolutions than last time. Not sure why? I can understand if I entered a different number it may be different but I didn't. Everything seems fine. The bezel adjusted resolution is 5970 x 1080. Anyone have any thoughts on why the bezel adjusted resolutions are different this time around with the same adjustments?
Using Nvidia 263.09 drivers. They had been working well for me. I assume this has more to do with the reinstallation of the drivers that the bios update. Perhaps there is some special method to updating drivers in 2D Surround that I am unaware of.
Thanks
