February 18, 201412 yr Hi,Prepar3D 2.1 will not run on my computer via Nvidia Surround.My Computer Setup------------------------Processor: I7 X980Processor Speed: 3.33GHzRAM: Corsair DDR3 Memory 2000MHz (7-8-7-20)Video Board Manufacturer: EVGA Signature SeriesVideo Board Model: GeForce GTX690Video Memory: 4096Mother Board: ASUSHard Drives: 2 Intel SSDs & 2 10,000 RPM SATA DrivesMonitors: 3 Samsung SyncMaster T260HD Monitors (5760x1200x32)Tried hyper-treading both on and off, same problem as shown below. I also tried various video drivers, it all ends the same.... with a system reboot. My Operating System--------------------------Windows 7 (64bit)Nvidia Drivers: 334.89 (WHQL)This is a new install of Windows 7 64 bit, with all windows updates included. Nothing else is on this system except Prepar3Dv2.1.If I try and run P3D2.1 via Nvidia's surround (by accessing Nvidia's Control Panel) - (5760x1200x32 - three monitors), P3D2.1 (after loading) goes to a black screen, I hear a buzzing type sound as though P3D is locked up. Then the computer reboots itself.If I run P3D2.1 via Nvidia's all monitors active (by accessing Nvidia's Control Panel) and then stretch the program to fit all three screens P3D2.1 works just fine.

February 18, 201412 yr Strange. I'm running surround as well but not having any problems. I don't think P3D2 is truly a full screen app all they do is make it borderless or with a window frame. but I agree it's not as good without surround as you loose the option for bezel correction and I think you take an FPS hit. Did you try to run P3D before enabling the Nvidia surround? might need to delete the prepar3d.cfg and try again. Steve McNitt
February 18, 201412 yr Author Hi, It runs fine when I run via "all monitors active" (by accessing Nvidia's Control Panel) and then stretch the program to fit all three screens. It only happens when I use surround. Without Surround, I take an FPS hit and I don't have access to bezel control.
