I have also found a lot of problems caused directly by the desktop manager being enabled. Disabling it won't fix everything, but it really helps. The problems with moving labels and flipping from layout to mapper still remain, though they aren't as bad. You can still use dual monitors without the dsktp manager, but it just isn't as functional/customizable. This is a common problem with MI. Hopefully there is something that can be done about it.

We have three dual processor workstations using 3DLabs cards. We have a dual PIII 866MHz running Oxygen VX1 32MB, Widlcat VP990Pro and Wildcat VP880Pro. The wildcat VP cards are running on dual P4 2.4GHz machines. All computers are running on Windows XP Pro. I like the stability and quality of the 3DLabs drivers. I also have ArcGIS 8.3 installed on these machines and they work well there too.

Last year we went to dual monitors for mapping production and had NVIDIA installed. For a period everything worked perfectly but then after a while, small things caused MapInfo to freeze - move label, move between layout and map, zoom, select object to name a few. When MapInfo froze, this also caused all other open programs to deteriorate to "Not Responding" status until the whole PC needed to be shut down and re-started. This could take 15 to 20 minutes. During this time when taskmanager/performance was displayed, the CPU usage history showed 100% and flatlined with only 25% of memory used. Following discussion with MapInfo's help line, we were advised that there appeared to be conflict between MapInfo and NVIDIA and one solution was to reduce hardware acceleration to lower settings until we could work with MapInfo and NVIDIA without conflict. FAILED. I am therefore wondering whether anyone has experienced a similar conflict between NVIDIA and MAPINFO since it was mentioned in the MapInfo-L archives circa 2003 and if so, has anyone seen or heard of a remedy ? I am led to believe we have the latest NVIDIA software.
