Enabling "cascade" in NVIDIA options...

[marmasatt]

Hey, as title states I've done this before and now after searching a few times all the NVIDIA control options, I can't find "cascade." At least I think that's what it's called. It's where you can open all your windows in IE at once. Say you have 4 windows open you can have 4 quads up on the screen. Reason is, I just got a tuner and this would be helpful while watching TV. LMK. thanks

Cascade? I've never heard of it...

Try messing with the nView options possibly?

 

[marmasatt]

yeah, that's what I've been doing. messed w/ the options on two 20 minute sessions now and haven't been able to find it yet......(haven't used in about a year or so)

Maybe it has something to with virtual desktops. I know the MS Powertoy lets you view 4 desktops on one screen when switching/selecting desktops. nView has that also it seems (I'm not sure about the 4 things on one screen part though). Display gridlines under nView\User Interface? That have anything to do with it?

Man, this sucks. I found cascade, don't even know how. And it's not doing what it previously was. You could literally have 4 windows open and have them all open and it wasn't like a powertory plug-in or anything. Regular Nview option....... I swear I'm not crazy. Anyone else?

??? Right click the task bar and choose "Cascade" "Tile Horizontally" "Tile Vertically" <------ is that what you are talking about?

It must be (but that supports less and more than 4 windows). Hold control and select the windows you want, then right click on one you selected and click Cascase and it will rearrange those selected windows.

Hey thanks. I just noticed I got a few more responses on this. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Thanks. I did have one wher you could do it in quads though. Wonder what I was doing?

Try the "tile vertically" option instead of cascade.

 

[marmasatt]

Yeah, I've tried all 3: vertically, horizontally and cascade. Nothing is putting a window open in each corner of the screen which I was once able to do.........

Weird, I suggested vertically because it does work for me on my normal destop at 1280x720. I just tried 1600x1200 and 1024x768 as well and both of those gave the 4 windows in a quad just the same, so I have no clue why it wouldn't be working the same for you.
