nGlide + dual monitors = Fail?

[Mat-Allum]

Just got through installing mtm2 on my usual workstation, both to play around with and to test a truck I've been working on in a nonstandard model editor. But after installing nGlide to fit my 1440x900 screen, I found that the game does something rather undesirable. The game slices into two sections, with about 66% of the game rendering on the secondary monitor in my dual monitor setup at what I assume to be 1440x900 windowed, and the other third rendering on my main monitor full-screen (but with menu bar) at 640x480.

I THOUGHT I had the game running fine with two monitors and nglide at some point in the past. Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong?

Windows 8.1 (with a borked Explorer desktop, although other games fullscreen just fine)

The nglide forum doesn't seem to have this particular problem. Someone had some issues with dual monitor but they were with older versions of the wrapper.

The workaround was this:

Disabling Desktop Composition in the compatibility options of any games .exe (or dosbox.exe in case of DosBox) file resolves the issue reliably. At least on my ATI machine, haven't tested it on the nVidia rig so far.

Windows 8 unfortunately does not offer the option to disable desktop composition but I'll see what I can do. (Thanks a lot, Microsoft.)

Ugh. It might be something related with Win 8 then. I've had nGlide work correctly on a multiple monitor set up in Win 7 at some point.

I think the only real solution is to post in the official nGlide forums about the problem and hope that they will look into it.

It's still there, just have to be set through the registry.
