Hi,

I found out that I should be able to get a any Dx9 game running in a window to work with S3D but I am having trouble getting F4 BMS 4.3 working in S3D in Window Mode??

I am using the 275.33 drivers and a 470GTX card.. the game is a DX9 version and I saw the FAQ besides it needing to be DX9 I also need the equipment which I have.

So why can I NOT get S3D working in Window Mode??

For Windowed mode to work you need to select an option on the Nvidia panel, I think it says "Select when to enable 3D mode" and you need to set it to "Only when 3D program runs". I might be set to "Only when Full-screen program runs" or something like that. It may only work in Windows 7.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to play in windowed mode anyhow?

Also, do other games work in windowed mode?

I want to play in Window mode because the Game offers the ability to extract info from the Game to an external monitor.. So I can have RWR, MFD, HSI info displayed in a homebuilt cockpit like an F16.
But you can ONLY do the extraction of data in Window mode, limitation of DX9..

I am trying to build a Cockpit of sorts with external displays and need to get S3D working in Window mode.. sort of like this:

Here is currently what I have now:

The_Nephilim That set up really inspired me, i have been playing with Falcon 4 for a while now. İ am using BMS 4.32 right now, can you explain me how you have multiple screens? Can i use my extra 22 in monitors to get a wide angle view of the game? Thanks in advance.
