Triple monitor black box on monitor 3?

onelosttiger · 8 Sep 2011 at 08:04

Hi guys

When I set the monitors up as extended display whichever monitor I have set as monitor three there is a little black box on the screen with two opposite arrows on it. I can't click the arrows. It goes behind any windows but when on the desktop its there over the wallpaper. Any idea what this is and how to get rid of it?

I hope that one of you know the answer to this because it was driving me crazy yesterday. I set up eyefinity when gaming but don't like the way that windows treats it as a single screen when it comes to the task bar etc.

A screenshot might help!

Here you go, this is the box that appears on which ever monitor is labeled as the third monitor on extended displays.

Anyone have any ideas?

How strange! What card do you have? Do those arrows in the black box do anything?

I know, I'm stumped. I have a 5850. The arrows don't do anything and when you right click on it nothing happens either, not even the usual desktop menu, but it does work everywhere else on the desktop.

Also, as I said, when you open any windows they are always on top of it.

It sounds like it could be related to ASUS AI Suite II. One link about it here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-monitor/7197f11c-ea04-4cfe-8b19-e777e948e6e9

Bremen thank you very much mate, it worked! I opened then closed AI Suite and it disappeared.

Thanks again mate.

It's very annoying as it comes back on mine every time I boot and I have to open/close it. It happened when I swapped my monitors round and made the right one primary. I might try an uninstall/install again.
