Applying NV Surround Profile doesn't change anything #6

Closed DBJoran closed 6 years ago

DBJoran commented 7 years ago

I created the NV Surround profile by using Nvidia Control Panel to make it surround then saved the profile with Helios. Trying to apply the profile doesn't change anything it loads for 3 seconds then it loads for 30 and nothing changes. I'm using three 1920x1080 screens.

EDIT: Forgot to mention my PC also crashed two times trying to apply the profile, seems to be a random occurence though.

hey i have this exact problem

I have found a temp solution using @falahati other app Nvidia Surround Toggle at same time as Helios Display Management Ill Explain below

Helios Display

Works For Pulling me out of surround to Extended mode

But Fails To Enable Surround

Nvidia Surround Toggle

Works for putting me in to Surround from Extended

But Fails To Go Back To Extended Mode

So Using Both Apps I can switch easy

Hope this helps you

Hey,

It would be great if some of you guys could create a copy from their correct "DisplayProfile_1.0.xml" file (if you made one manually), delete it and try the program again with invalid profiles. Then follow these steps:

  1. Download the HeliosDisplayManagement.Reporting.zip file.
  2. Extract it to the desktop. (or somewhere with write access for your user account)
  3. Execute the program and wait for it to end, then press Enter to exit.
  4. This will generate a log file right next to the program, rename this newly created log file from "HeliosDisplayManagement.Reporting.XXXXX.log" to a meaningful name, for example: "DisabledSurround.log" or "AllMonitorsExtended.log" so I know what the log is about.
  5. Switch to other modes (using Windows Control Panel and NVidia Control Panel) and repeat the these steps.

At the end of this process, you should have multiple ".log" files each generated while your system was in a correct mode. I need this information as I need to follow the program's logic based on your system while you are in a specific mode. Send these log files to me. Feel free to check the log files for any information you might not want to share with the public.

Also, the source code of this program is now available as a part of this repository, so you can always check the source code or even compile it yourself.

Closed as the duplicate of #2. Please discuss the issue there.
