Hi all. I run F@H on a computer with two displays, using an Nvidia GTX970. WHen it goes into screensaver mode, the display is split/stretched among the two screens, so the target is cut in half, since it's centered. I've fiddled with the settings but nothing, it won't change. Is there a setting I am missing to make it display on one screen instead of two?

TIA.

windows or Linux?

Windows 10.

So any help?

I suppose Win10 isn't all that different that Win7.

I don't have any dual systems right now but there are 4 fundamental choices.
> Duplicate the display
> Extend the displays
> Desktop on 1
> Desktop on 2
You've probably chosen the second one. I certainly would try the 3rd one.

I didn't find any mention of screensavers but I'd assume it would cover the extended display but would remain inside the area managed as the Desktop for choice 4 or 3.

when I used that option, I could still drag a window onto the non-desktop display so both can be use.

You can probably find more information on either the NVidia FAQ or the Microsoft FAQ.

Desktop on 1 shuts off 2 completely.

I can't believe I'm the first person to note this problem. There has to be other folders with 2 monitors.

Sorry. The last time I used 2 monitors I was running Linux.

I think that we need to remember that the corporate decision at Microsoft was that Window10 had to be designed to work on Cell phones.

What does that have to do with it? The BOINC screen saver works on one screen. All other screen savers work on one screen. F@H is the only screen saver that splits over two screens.

I'm assuming the FAHViewer has the same problem. Is that true?
