Thanks, but yeah, I did set the desktop back to 3840x1024. I didn't make that part clear, but that's what I meant when I said I even tried 3840x1024. I even uninstalled the game and reinstalled it.

I think I will try to run the game with a single monitor only and see if it works with this driver.

Should I disable Matrox software from starting up with windows before I shut down the system to unhook TH2Go and hook up a single monitor?

Nah, you don't have to.

Thanks

I tried it and the game runs fine on a single screen, but I can't get it to work with this driver in triplehead. Even setting the res to 3840x1024, the game won't work. However, using the new 186.16, it works again, but that driver will not give 4320x900.
I think the game will only go as high as 3840x1024, but I'm not real sure, since that's all that I can get with the drivers that work for the game. I can't get into the games menu to check with 182.50.
However, I don't know why it wouldn't do that, since the game clearly supports 16:10 resolutions, such as 1920x1200, 1680x1050 and 1440x900. I checked when I had it running in on a single monitor.

After seeing TH2Go in proper aspect for my monitors, I don't want to go back to a stretched res for windows. I wouldn't mind at all if I had to run TDU in 3840x1024, but I for sure want my desktop in 4320x900.
All my other games that I have tried run at this res just fine. Only Rise of Flight doesn't have it in the list, but I understand that Neoqb is working with Matrox to resolve the issues with it. I have a strong feeling that it will offer 4320x900 once they get it straightened out.

I'm about to give up on it.
I wish (as I'm sure everyone does) that Nvidia would get on ball here. Absolutely no sense in this and really no excuse.

Hi again

Test Drive Unlimited is now working with 182.50, or I should say I now have a menu and correct resolution to match my desktop.

I have to uninstall it and delete everything I could find that related to it.
I had to get into the menu with my desktop at 640x480 (1920x480) in order for it to display. Once there I was able to set the res to 4320x900 and reset my desktop back to that res.
Logos don't display, but if I hit esc as soon as I hear the logo start, I get the menu to come up now.
I haven't tried to actually play, since my wheel wasn't hooked up, but at least I now have a menu and proper res. I think I may be okay.

However, a simple editable config file would have saved me a lot of problems and time.

I'll never get another console port if it doesn't have a config file we can edit.
