Windows 7 Problems getting eyefinity to work correctly

[Lucasharmon97]

I recently had re-install windows. The new installation was successful, but whenever I play a game that is full screen or use an application that is full screen, my Eyefinity gets disabled when I quit the application or Alt+Tab out of the application/game. Any way to fix this?

Experiencing issues with Eyefinity settings being disabled when exiting full-screen applications or games can be frustrating. To address this problem, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

Adjusting Display Settings:​

• Reconfigure Eyefinity Settings:
• Open AMD Radeon Settings or AMD Control Center.
• Ensure that your Eyefinity settings are properly configured for your multi-monitor setup.
• Reset Eyefinity:
• Sometimes, resetting Eyefinity settings and setting them up again can resolve issues.
• Verify Display Driver:
• Make sure you have the latest AMD graphics driver installed. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause conflicts with full-screen applications.
  

  Managing Full-Screen Behavior:​

• Game/Application Settings:
• Check the settings within the specific game or application to see if there are any options related to display settings that might be overriding Eyefinity configurations.
• Windowed Full Screen:
• Try running games in windowed full-screen mode instead, as this could prevent the Eyefinity settings from getting disabled when switching out of the game.
  

  Additional Steps:​

• Monitor Cables:
• Ensure that all the monitor cables are securely connected to the appropriate ports on your graphics card.
• Restart Computer:
• Rebooting the system sometimes resolves display-related issues.
• Driver Reinstallation:
• If the issue persists, consider uninstalling the graphics driver completely and then reinstalling it.
• Check for Updates:
• Keep your Windows system updated with the latest patches and updates, as they can sometimes address compatibility issues.
• Contact AMD Support:
• If none of the above steps work, reaching out to AMD support for specific guidance on Eyefinity settings might be beneficial.
  

  Conclusion:​

  By adjusting display settings, checking game/application configurations, and ensuring the proper connections, you can potentially resolve the issue of Eyefinity being disabled when exiting full-screen applications or games. Remember to keep your system and drivers up-to-date for optimal performance. If the issue persists after trying these steps, feel free to provide more details for further assistance.
