Windows XP Dual-View Workaround.

There is a fix for the Dual-View errors people are having using XP/XP64. This includes using monitors of different sizes, or having horrible resolutions when set to horizontal span.

To fix: Determine which monitor is your primary monitor.. load the wow instance/s you have set to run on the primary monitor. Change the 2nd montior to primary display and load the wow instance/s you have set up on that one. once all wow apps are up, change the primary back to the first monitor and should be fixed. This is the most common way (without upgrading to Vista) to get full functionality out of your video card in dual-view. Using this on XP 64 I am able to run all 5 instances of wow at any setting i desire and get max framerates. (even in Orgrimmar) Without doing this little trick, im lucky to hit 20 fps out of my slave chars. in org. 8)

btw, my first post. Figured i should make it worthwhile! This site has been an amazing source of info for my 5box adventures!

Trying it now to see what happens.

I only tried this where I load wow to the point where you enter your password. I have never tried to change the primary monitor back to the original after i have fully loaded up all instances.

Well it didnt work.. Still Choppy Sinclair

Horizontal Span vs Dual View on nvidia

Good stuff. I should make sure to read everything. Either way, its a fairly effective way to fix most dual-view issues you come across.



Edit: lol... its even stickied. Sorry bro, didnt relate the topic.

Seems like I would have to go threw so much work just to load up wow. Does not seem worth it. But ill give it a try, I have been meaning to dualbox on both my monitors.
