Windows 7 Enterprise, x64
DisplayFusion Pro v6.0

I use Matrox PowerDesk to split my docked laptop (ThinkPad T410) to 3 monitors (one plugged into the DVI-D on the dock, and two plugged into the a Matrox DualHead2Go DE, which is plugged into the VGA on the Dock). The graphics card is an nVidia NVS 3100M and only allows you to have two output displays at a time (the DualHead2Go works by utilizing the ONE VGA output and spreading it over 2 DVI-D outputs).

The issue was fixed in the Matrox PowerDesk software under Desktop Management -> Maximize windows.

It had been set to "In same cell current window" and changing it to "In current Windows display (Windows default)" solved the issue. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#56 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:50:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#56 DisplayFusion We've just released DisplayFusion 5.1 Beta 8 (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/), and this issue should be all fixed up. Please let us know if not

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#55 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:40:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#55 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks Matthew! It does seem like it happens when the workstation has been locked for some time, but we still haven't been able to reproduce it consistently

We'll definitely post an update when we're able to get this fixed up though. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#54 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:07:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#54 DisplayFusion Thanks Keith, that fixed my setup today.

I'll keep an eye out for exactly what causes this, but here's what I did:

Windows 7 Enterprise, 64bit, SP1
DisplayFusion 5.0

-I locked my workstation (Win-L)
-Screen Saver kicked in (10 minutes)
-Monitor 2 and 3, all applications would maximize under the taskbars (both a right and a left taskbar). Monitor 1 has the default windows taskbar.

Resetting the taskbar position cleared it up. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#53 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:03:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#53 DisplayFusion This is an intermittent issue that we're still trying to reproduce here unfortunately. As soon as we can reproduce it and fix it up, will definitely follow-up here to let everyone know.

In the meantime, you can resolve it temporarily when it occurs by doing the following, which will force the taskbar to reload and Windows to reserve the screen space for it again:

Right-click the taskbar and navigate to Multi-Monitor Taskbar > Position > Automatic (or whichever one you have selected)

IE, FireFox, Windows Explorer, Excel, you name it, they all maximize behind the taskbar.

• Take a screenshot of the screen that has the issue (or all screens is fine too).
• Post or email (support@displayfusion.com) the info from the Troubleshooting tab. Please make sure the info is copied from the Troubleshooting tab while you have a program that's maximized behind the taskbar.

I am using full version 3.4.1. I noticed the issue after the last update, but don't recall if it was coincident with the update. I have a very clean install (computer is a month old), don't use Google Desktop or any other such software. DisplayFusion is the only software I have that I would say *interferes* with normal Windows 7 functions. I had one gadget installed for Windows Desktop that I removed well before this issue appeared.

For me, the issue existed on my left and right, but not center (which is my main) monitors.

The workaround above of choosing align bottom rather than auto for the taskbar, and then putting it back to auto, fixed the problem. I did this only on the right taskbar (by right-clicking) but it fixed it on both.

I note above the talk about nVidia cards - I have AMD: dual 6950s in Crossfire. I note that the last driver install from AMD came with a feature called Hydragrid, which appears to be a multiple desktop manager of some sort. Mine is not enabled.

Good luck! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#41 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:01:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#41 DisplayFusion In an effort to cleanup the DisplayFusion Discussions, this topic is being marked as Complete as it hasn't received a response for more than 30 days.

I could never reproduce it with the Google Desktop Sidebar, but I'll definitely try testing it out again. What version of Windows, Google Desktop, and DisplayFusion are you running?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#34 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 14:27:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-windows-maximizing/?ID=adfd671e-b96c-45c6-8d40-4efbb44bda93#34 DisplayFusion I have the same problem.

In my case, I don't have "nView" installed on my laptop, but using nVidia graphic card.

After reading your discussion, I tried to make google desktop "sidebar" on the primary monitor of my laptop to move to "deskbar" position. The problem has disappeared. So, my guess is this problem is related with Google desktop program, especially its position of "sidebar"
I am looking forward to seeing your solution.
Thanks
