Problem running on dual-monitors

tool bars don't work

Friday, March 10, 2006 by rjchaney | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Is this a problem running Windowblinds on system with dual-monitors? The tools bars, and the ability minimize or mazimized the screen is disabled. Everything freezes up. I have tried uninstalling everything and re-installing. I even had to reformat the harddrive recently because of a virus, but when I re-installed everything WB5 still didn't work.

I have been running windowblinds(and most other OD products) on dual monitors for about 2 yrs now...Have had very few problems doing so. Most of the problems I have experienced have been video card settings, not OD settings...sometimes you just gotta dig deep into your card's settings to tell it to do what you want it to..wish I could help you more, but..."I'm an artist, Jim - not a doctor!" Just wanted to let you know that it's not likely a WB issue.(though I'm not familiar w/ your brand of video card.)
Good luck!

Thank you both for your suggestions. I had the screen refresh rate set at 60 Hertz on one monitor, and 75 Hertz on the other. I now have them genlocked at 60 Hertz and everything is working fine.
