Hey guys,

When I run Octane pre 2.3.5 on my secondary monitor in windows 7 64bit, all my node inspector information doesn't display, it's just blank grey box, with some random lines and boxes here and there, but none of the sliders, etc... show. As soon as I move it back to the primary display, everything's good.

If I only run the secondary display and not the primary ( eg, just the run the primary on the other monitor ) it also works fine. So it's only when both monitors are running and it's on the 2nd one.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Just wanted to bump this, since no-one put in a reply of it being read or anything.

see if anyone else can confirm?

No I cant but do you run the monitors as 1 and 2 or as 1 extended screen.
I know in CAD OpenGL runs best if you use Nvidia 'span' mode.
With that your screen is mapped as one of say 3200x1200.
I'm betting its an OpenGL drawing issue rather than the driver or Octane.

pretty sure win 7 doesn't allow spanning anymore (since vista actually)

so, unless it's something nVidia can do on it's own, I don't think one can span in win 7 (so obviously I'm not spanning)
