Moving the Scene Manager to second screen makes it crash

Hi Jeremy,
This discussion about toolbars in the Rhino Forum gave me the idea to move the Maxwell Plug-in screen manager to my secondary screen.
Unfortunately, it systematically freezes Rhino, and I have to kill it with the Windows task manager
How about you dear Polynurb, my "dual-screen alter-ego" ?
Does it work on your side ?

What happens if you run it as a regular window (i.e. Options > Dockable Scene Manager = No)?

In that case, as soon as I click on a tab, I get the sand-timer treatment again, but this time I am still able to move the scene manager window around.
Bringing it back on the main screen doesn't help though.
I have to kill Rhino nonetheless.

What type of machine do you have - OS, video card, etc.?

Fwiw: This works without crashes on my end on Win7_64, Gtx 275.
I'd love to dock stuff on the secondary screen though... (I know that there's nothing you can do about this Jeremy).
Edit: I see some delay when switching tabs too and some further errors too but I'll list them in another thread.

Thanks, but I don't yet see any obvious problem here. Have you tried using up-to-date video drivers? I think the current version is 195.62. Also, do you use any special software for multi-screen?

FWIW, no problems here...I move the MW scnene manager to the second screen all the time. Using the same gtx260 card.

Installed the latest drivers.
It works now, both in dockable or windows mode.
The switching between tabs still kind of lags, but I no "deep coma" anymore.
Thanks,

Thanks for letting me know. Some of the tabs are quite heavy, memory/processor-wise, hence some lag. Also, they are delay-loaded to make sure the plugin startup time is as short as possible, so as you probably noticed, the first time you access a particular tab, it will take longer than on subsequent accesses.

sorry, i missed this one completely...
i still have the problem in my setup, but i figured that it is to my 2nd screen being in portrait mode.. it seemed to work when both screens are in landscape, but i didn't use that setup for work, so not sure about stability issues.
what i do is disable gl via "single monitor acceleration" option in the drivers, i have all viewports on the big display so i don't need it on the 2nd.
