sounds like your second monitor is using a different size than the first monitor... try resizing that monitor to 1024x768, dragging it over, hitting maximize then hitting remove borders.

try running both at 1024x768 and dragging same thing

i just started to try this program and it works ok but im having trouble with getting it on the 2nd monitor and looking right. when i click on it to drag it to other monitor the gauges go out of the window.

If it's a laptop, would you mind telling us what make and model it is?

here is some better shots of it

[BRIAN 11/17/2008 8:27:00 PM] Hi James, thanks for the message and it sounds like the card is faulty. For proceeding with RMA service on this card, please verify your card`s serial number has been registered through our website. Indicate if you are using any features (if supported by your card) such as SLI.

Also confirm that we have your full name, best shipping address for receiving a delivery with signature required (no PO Boxes allowed for our FedEx shipments) and telephone number posted in your Customer Profile online. Thanks, Brian.

its not overclocked. i have uninstalled chipset drivers, graphics driver, then ran driver cleaner pro and nasty file remover then reinstalled the chipset driver (15.23_nforce_winxp32_international_whql) and graphics driver (178.24_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql). Still having some trouble with something not installing. I dont even know what it is that isnt installing, windows cant find a driver for it.
still acting weird and showing crazy block effects on the desktop.

pic of device manager attached.


Tried playing Obivion with Rivatuner hardware monitering running, the graphics went funny and screen went black, was able to get back to desktop and see that video card temp was at 61C, i also got this message when i closed the game

Quote from MadCatX :

boostfire: You really should read the whole thread before posting, ABK already said that it's not just LFS suffering from some graphic glitches and he has already suggested getting the card RMAed.

OK, back to the topic. There is an easy way how to find out if your card is overheating. You said you see some graphics errors even on the POST screen (which is pretty bad in terms of solving the problem quick and "painlessly"). Do you see them as soon as you turn the computer on or does it have to run for a while to produce these glitches? If you see them immediately after powering it up, then your card is probably dead and needs to be replaced.

its got to run a min or so for it to show the glitches in the POST screen.
i trying the chipset driver again just to make sure.



edit: I think its working now

i tried the newest one on nvidia site

GeForce Release 178 WHQL
Version:178.24
Release Date:October 15, 2008
still have the same problems and if i restart it the Bios and POST screens have corruption.
I think its getting too hot, its still under warranty, less then 6 months old, so i put in a support ticket with XFX maybe they will fix or replace it.

tried deleting the CFG's didnt help
tried to run 3dmark06 it went crazy and froze
after restart i got this windows error



Technical Information Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA ... N_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)


Follow these steps to solve the problem with a video device driver
You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused Windows to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer.
Solution

There are two options you can use to try to fix the problem. If the first option doesn't work, then try the second.
Option 1: Install the most current device driver for your video card
Use Windows Update to check for and install updates.

1. Go online to the Windows Update website:
   
   Windows Update
   Note
   If Microsoft Update is installed, you'll be taken to the Microsoft Update website.
   
2. Click Custom to check for available updates.
   
3. In the left pane, under Select by Type, click Hardware, Optional. Select the updates for a video device driver, click Review and install updates, and then click Install Updates.
   

Notes

• If there are no updated drivers listed on Windows Update, we recommend you contact the manufacturer of the video card for additional support. Let them know that you received an error for a video device driver and ask if product updates are available.
  
• If there are no updated drivers on Windows Update and you don't know the name of the video card manufacturer, we recommend you contact your computer manufacturer for additional information and support.
  How do I find my computer manufacturer (OEM)?
  Click Start, click Run, type msinfo32, and then click OK. Your computer OEM is listed as the System Manufacturer in the right pane of the System Information window.
  Click to go online to see cont ... st computer manufacturers
  

Option 2: Manually decrease Hardware Acceleration for your video adapter
This procedure prevents the display device driver from programming the hardware incorrectly, but you might lose some display functionality and performance.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
   
2. Click the Settings tab, and then click Advanced.
   
3. Click the Troubleshoot tab, move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None, and then clear the Enable Write Combing check box.
   
4. Click OK, and then click OK.

i just replaced my harddrive and LFS is looking pretty crazy!
Anyone got an idea on what it maybe?

I think it maybe the video card but its only a few months old


PC specs:
CPU: E6550 2.33ghz 1333fsb
RAM: 2x1gb DDR2 800mhz
Harddrive: 320gb 7200rpm 16mb
Motherboard: ASUS P5N-E SLI
Video: 8600GT 256mb

i have the same problem real low fps with fraps

specs:Core2duo e6550 2.33\1333fsb 2gb ddr2/800mhz 8600gt 256mb


my old computer would do it and it was a P4w/HT @ 3.2 800fsb 1.5gb ram

dont understand it

Correctly setting up a Logitech Wheel


Screenshot of a properly configured Logitech G25 wheel, using specific game profile made for LFS. (If you have Logitech MOMO, nevermind the "degrees of rotation" setting).


Open up your Logitech Profiler and then the FFB (Force Feedback) settings window: either "Options" - "Global Device Settings" or if you are using game profiles "Edit" - "Specific Game Settings". Suggested settings are these (also shown in the screenshot):

• Overall Effects Strength - Set to 101-105% (101% is good value). Due to problems inside the Logitech Profiler the FFB only starts to act linearly when set over 100%. You can always fine tune the level of FFB in LFS's Options > Controls or you can adjust it "on the fly" while driving with the FFB (Force Feedback) shortcut keys.
  
• Spring Effect Strength - Set to 0%. It is Logitech driver based effect and practically LFS does not need this (confirmed by the game developer).
  
• Damper Effect Strength - Set to 0%. It is Logitech driver based effect and practically LFS does not need this (confirmed by the game developer).
  
• Enable Centering Spring / Centering Spring Strength - Uncheck the box (disable it) and set it to 0%.
  
• Report Combined Pedals - Uncheck this option. Enabling this only gives you one pedal axis, meaning you can't use brake and throttle pedals properly. So disable it.
  

These settings should work on all Logitech wheels. The settings in the Logitech Profiler might slightly differ from these instructions depending on your wheel model.




this came from here http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Wheels

i'm using gimp and it opens psd's just fine make sure it updated all the way

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

It's a good start! However, I'm not too fond of that dashboard texture, it looks like tree bark. I'd go for something smoother, like leather. Also, the dashboard seems a bit plain. But it's a good start and I hope you make more interiors so you get better at it.

i did use a leather for the texture its attached

thx for your reply and i do have plans to add more features to the dash

here is my first interior
mainly just interior and headlights was changed




plz let me know what u think.

Not sure if i'm going to leave it like this or modify it some more
