Tough to find info on this subject in searches throughout the various forums. I just discovered that my cheap ATI graphics card has two ports on the back and I have this old Packard Bell 15 inch monitor so I went out and bought the adapter to let me hook it up. I'm running a pretty beefed up system - (AMD 64 3200, 1Mg of memory and my FS system on a SATA hard drive) so I normally get very good response from FS9. However, when moving an undocked second window to the second monitor, polygons from the autogen scenery below simply wack out. Now, were I really stoned, these giant distorted buildings growing like crystals off the landscape might be pretty cool but those old hippy days are long behind me. This only seems to occur when flying over areas with autogen buildings so that seems to be the last straw that pushes my system over the edge. Anyone have similar problems and did you find a solution? That little glimpse of the possibilities of the extremely widened view was tantalizing but flying without autogen doesn't seem appealing.Thanks,Art Martin

Depending on what I'm doing I have similar graphical glitches with Dual monitors. If I do both windows from the VC along with some weather, everything goes haywire with the A/C model. Props appearing as windshields, cockpits disappearing, wings extending forever into the horizon - definitely wierd stuff.I find that at one point or another, the card decides it's had enough and can't process all the information. After than whatever it decides to do tends to be rather amusing. I turned autogen off a long time ago feeling that I wanted the wide view and frame rates that that go with turning it off. I also settled on a 2d panel front view with the main monitor and a left-front VC view out the left monitor. After lining them up it is quite a convincing effect.__Josh

Art,Try turning hardware acceleration for your secondary display adapter down to the third notch from the left on the troubleshoot tab under display properties and don't undock 3D windows to the secondary monitor.Gary

Thanks for the reply folks. I'm pretty much convinced that the fault is in the fact that I spent so little on the graphics card. It's definitely ATI's low end and most likely obsolete 128m card although I don't have the computer in front of me to get the model number off of it. Guess I'll skip lunches for a few weeks and save up for a new one. Now how to hide the purchase from the wife......Art

This is how I setup my dual screen. Open FS in the primary monitor in a window. I call up the radios, gps, etc and right click then and undock them. Drag them to the other monitor. Hit alt-enter to go back to full screen mode. works great and doesnt whack out and mess up the Windows screen settings.
