June 22, 20178 yr Author Okay, let me start from the beginning: The guy who set this up for the museum (shared computer) doesn't want to maintain it anymore, so we are all in over our heads, here .... 1. FSX Acceleration (which it updated to after deleting fsx.cfg to solve crashing issue) on Win 10 2. 3 monitors: DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce 6100.0] TriLinear=1 WideAspectView=True and running in Windows mode with all monitors set to "Aspect ratio" [all of this requiring some learning on my part, LoL] 3. Windows did an update, which resulted in having to set up all 3 monitors, which are now set is: 2, 1, 3 w/ 4 being directly under #1 and 2 set as primary [which took some more learning on my part, LoL] 4. (2) accounts; I am trying to make changes in a "user" account whether than an "admin" account (which might be a part of my problem!) 5. Read somewhere online about "extending desktop to this monitor"; the "extend" option is ghosted out and unselectable; 6. When booting up, only primary monitor shows logon and Windows Startup with the other monitors being black; the other monitors come to life after logging on (which is not the way it used to be; system used to use all monitors) 7. When launching FSX, I can stretch the window as wide as I want to but FSX will only utilize the window space that would fill up only one monitor.
June 23, 20178 yr CaptainPike, I don't have the answer, but thought that you may consider saying what museum and where, and perhaps a good simmer soul nearby could come over and help. I know I would. dv Win 10 Pro || i7-8700K || 32GB || ASUS Z370-P MB || NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11Gb || 2 960 PRO 1TB, 840 EVO My Files in the AVSIM Library
