85.179.39.185:

'''This applies to Windows XP and MXWendler version 4.0 and above with NVidida graphics'''

''Problem:''
* The MXW UI runs, and you see content updating in the output on the first screen, but not on the second ( output ) screen

''Reason:''
* You have an NVidia graphics board

''Solution:''
* Open NVidia system settings
* Under 'Multi-GPU Acceleration' enable 'Compatibility Mode'

''Background:''
* If you select performance mode, only the first screen receives OpenGL updates
* This is performance wise the best solution, but you have to split the screen eg. using a Matrox Triplehead or using a NVidia horizontal span
