Hi All,
Sometime ago Jessica posted a link to an article in Simforums which dealt with FSX setup when using Nvidia Cards, and after following the article as closely as possible I found a vast improvement in graphics and fps. The link is at,http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=29041. it might be worth a look. Thanks to Nick who wrote the article, it worked for me.
Regards

I have a question about running FSX with multiple monitors. I'm stuck at the moment running FSX off a laptop. It's a nice laptop, but not a gaming laptop so the video card is not too strong. I experimented last night with attaching a second monitor (see my blog at http://virtuallyflying.blogspot.com), and was able to get a virtual cockpit view on each screen and lined up fairly well.

My question at this point is about panning the view around with 2+ monitors. Since only one view seems to be active at any given time, only that view pans when you use the hat switch to look around. That not only breaks the illusion created by multiple monitors, but you also have to line the views back up after you look around. Is there any way to lock the two (or more) views together so that when you look around, all of the monitors pan together?

Thanks.

I think it's time to organize some of this Tips and Tweaks so I have started to make a small file with some of the things I have learned. I will be back with a link to the file later so all can read it and if you guys and girls have some more to add to it I will do that.

Hi Dave, you do not uninstall software by deleting it's files there will be some entries left in the registration files. try some freeware scanning software to fix the problem. I my selves often use this one http://www.iobit.com/
