Yes, re-installing the Nvidia drivers is the only way I know to get the Nvidia Control Panel back. I've done it several times now. It's a fairly drawn out process and is more annoying than onerous.

But inevitably some conflict with DF will occur, and the NCP will disappear, or some other hiccup with DF will occur.

For instance, do you know what's causing the issue with my task bar flickering up and down in the middle monitor upon bootup? Half the time I'll have to CTR-ALT-DEL and do an End Task on Explorer, then restart it, and it'll be fine. ]]> RE: Triple Monitors: Taskbar on center, Start Menu shows up on Left monitor?? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#13 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 18:13:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#13 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion shouldn't have removed access to the NVIDIA Control Panel completely. Could you try installing the latest NVIDIA drivers to see if that brings back the Control Panel? ]]> RE: Triple Monitors: Taskbar on center, Start Menu shows up on Left monitor?? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#12 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 02:39:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#12 DisplayFusion Hi Keith,

I constantly have issues with DF and my taskbar still, I had set the taskbar to only show up on the middle monitor. But most of the time when I booted into Windows, there would be a gap at the bottom of the screen (the height of the taskbar), and the task bar would show up above that gap. And whenever I moved the cursor over the taskbar, it would show the Busy icon, and when I tried to click on the taskbar, it would flicker back down to the bottom of the screen and back up.

Recently the taskbar is now back to the 'default' windows position at the left most screen, spanning across the 3 screens.

I was going to go into the Nvidia Control Panel to check the taskbar setting, but now the Nvidia Control Panel is missing (I can't see it when I right click on the desktop). I know when I first installed DF, it said it had a conflict with nvidia, and I chose to ignore. I'm wondering if it came up again and I accidentally set it to block the Nvidia Control Panel? Where I can get DF to ignore it again?

Help? Thanks.

The issue you're running into is indeed due to a conflict between the DisplayFusion hooks and the hooks in the NVIDIA drivers. In theory, you should be able to disable the NVIDIA stuff via the prompt, and then disable the DisplayFusion taskbars while leaving the primary centred, but we've found a bug with that configuration as well.

As soon as we get that sorted out, we'll let you know so that you can try it out :)

Hi Keith,

Yes pretty much. I'm relying on the Nvidia Control Panel to put the Taskbar on the Center monitor only. Therefore I want windows on the Left and Right monitors to use the entire screen when maximizing. Currently I also noticed when I maximize a window on the center screen, it does maximize on the full screen, but the bottom part is behind the taskbar.

Your software provides a lot of useful tweaks, so I definitely want to make use of all of them!

LMK if you need my log.

All of the above.

And the Start Menu showing up on the left monitor is happening again. :S ]]> RE: Triple Monitors: Taskbar on center, Start Menu shows up on Left monitor?? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#7 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:33:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#7 DisplayFusion Ok, are you just using DisplayFusion to split the wallpaper, or also for the Functions like Move to Next Monitor? ]]> RE: Triple Monitors: Taskbar on center, Start Menu shows up on Left monitor?? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#6 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:49:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#6 DisplayFusion Yes it is Enabled.

Sorry, I didn't know the picture was "protected," fixed now.

I ended up re-installing my NVidia drivers, and that appears to have fixed the problem. The taskbar is on the middle monitor, and the start menu shows up there as well.

However another issue I noticed is that the two side monitors do not maximize to the full screen. There is a small strip of desktop real estate at the bottom that's the size of the taskbar. Is it Nvidia or DF that's reserving that space? ]]> RE: Triple Monitors: Taskbar on center, Start Menu shows up on Left monitor?? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#3 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:44:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triple-monitors-taskbar-on-center-start-menu-shows-up-on-left-monitor/?ID=df687b8e-95ba-40c3-a6e5-b0eebdadc580#3 DisplayFusion @GMGQ23: If you exit DisplayFusion, does the Start menu then show up in the correct spot?

Triple Monitors (well quad with one on top as per the screencap). I like the Taskbar on the center monitor as it's my primary. But when I click on the Start menu, it shows up on the far left monitor??

I've got Nvidia Surround, and I did get the error message that the Nvidia app might cause issues. But the Nvidia Control Panel was the only way I could get the Taskbar only on the center monitor.

Please see the image and advise. Thanks! ]]>
