    R/C = Blank Screen

    Is this forum still active?  I guess I am about to find out!!

    It started a while ago, that everytime I right click on something on the desktop, both screens go blank for about one and a half seconds and then come back again.

    I seem to remember something in the NVidia control panel rectifies this, but can't find it anywhere.

    Any help appreciated anyone.

    I seem to remember a setting that's something like "play in monitor" that tries to play something fullscreen in a designated monitor.

    I dunno... I looked through all the settings, afain.

    I have the display mode set to "Configured independently from each other (Dualview)... but I don't think changing that would cause your issue...

    Re: R/C = Blank Screen

    I looked for something that looks like "play in monitor", but can't find it.

    Thanks Adman - I seem to remember something about the overlay (I think it was called) but cant seem to find it.  It is a weird issue and doesnt seem to happen from startup all the time.  Right now (having just booted) it won't go blank, but give it a while - I presume after I have run a certain programme - it starts going funny and when it has started, it will keep doing it.

    Thanks for the help.  If anyone else has any ideas, please chip in.  It is really irritating.  Even though I expect it to happen, I always hold my breath, wondering if this time it has crashed!

    Edit:  Actually having a look at my setup, mine are also set to Dualview, but the weird thing is that as soon as I click on the advanced tab of the driver - the screen goes blank.
