Hey Guy's,

 

I need help with an issue that has been driving me insane for the past two day's. I have just finished building a new rig for the PMDG 777. Specs are pretty much identical to my old rig except I have a custom clocked I5 2600K running at 4.8ghz, still using my old GTX560TI but with Inspector 1.9.6.5 and driver 301.42 WHQL. Win7 64 bit

 

Here's the problem (a little hard to explain since it's a weird issue) - Only two screens setup so far, 42" LED and a 15" LCD, if for example I undock the FMC to the 15" when I click on any button on the FMC then clcik on the main VC or 2D panel the sim pauses and I get the round win7 loading cursor for a few seconds. It is almost like the sim is changing focus between the two screens or I right clicked the main screen.

 

This has never happened before and I have had a multi sceen setup on xp and win7 for years.

 

I've gone through everything I can think of to resolve this over 2 days and I'm stumped! To make it even it more strange I found that if I right click the main panel then right click on the second screen I can use the sim as normal without any pauses at least until I have to access the FS menu, then it screws up again if I click on the FMC and try and click on the main panel again.

 

Any ideas? My whole setup is based on multi monitors, can't go back to single screen after all these years and it has always worked fine before.

 

Here's a few things I have tried.

 

Reverting to older drivers

System restore ( the sim was working after I built this machine last week, I did about 11 flights with undocked monitors before this glitch happened)

Switching to windows classic

unplugging both screens and setting them up again from scratch

threatening to drive over it with a Hummer

This is just a heads up for any poor soul searching Avsim in the future with the same issue as me.

 

Teamviewer has an option that will allow others to view your session in FS9 & FSX. This needs to be disabled otherwise it will disable your ability to use undocked screens.
