Two days ago I have run my application in full screen mode on 2 monitors. And I have not write how I do it! Today I can't to repeat this action.
What I forget to do? What must I set in programm or in system? I use GeForce 4 Ti4600 card with dual monitor support.

its part of nVeiws support in your drivers... it isn't a part of DarkBasic Pro

At last I solved this problem. To allow run program on two monitor it need to set "horizontal span" in Nview Display Mode, but NOT expand desktop on two monitors.
I don't know why Detonator so strange, but this settings are works.
Another strange thing: compilation in "Fullscreen exclusive mode" gives fps=25, in "Windowed -desktop" fps= 140. In topic "Increase Your FPS Before Patch 4!!!" quite the reverse.

Yes it depends on your spec. Much older machines run faster in exclusive mode, newer machines fly by in Windowed, or so I've found

Coming Soon! Kangaroo2 Studio... wait and quiver with anticipation! lol

well i've also noticed that the screen display generally is slower in Fullscreen Exclusive than Windowed Desktop, however Windowed Fullscreen is oftenly slower than both - because it calculated stretch and blur (which is extremely slow on older cards)

however on even relatively old cards like GeForce 256, ther differences between each mode is really neglegable.
Fullscreen is always slower for nVidia card though

reason is that it is actually a capped rate, i'm yet to find out why - even if you turn off the Vsync rates, still tends to cap and slow in Fullscreen...

like i can run JK2 Windowed 800x600x32 @ 60fps ... wheras run it same res in Fullscreen and it drops to 30fps - performing the exact same task just doesn't like it.
Kinda suspect as it doesn't truely change the resolution on the monitor - but i dunno, somethings are just weird
