Hiya,
I've just started with the apprentice edition. I'm running a fresh install of Windows XP. I have an nVidia geforce fx 5600 hooked to two plain monitors. Ordinary windows operations work fine, window spanning etc, but when I create a “floating pane” in Houdini so I can move some of the interface to my second monitor, I discover that all the menus pop up on the first monitor, not under my cursor where they should be. Needless to say this is incredibly annoying and unacceptable.
This is probably a quirk of my drivers, but I've tried several combinations of settings in the nView config thing and so far nothing gives me the behavior I expect.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Andrew

A quick solution to my own issue in case some lonely traveller finds this…
The problem was Windows Update guffing up Desktop Manager… cleaning out the drivers and re-installing them restored the nVidia Desktop Manager and fixed the problem.
(Note this probably only applies to Quadro drivers in Win7, as AFAIK Win7 GeForce drivers no longer come with Desktop Manager)
