The newest driver for GeForce 9600 GT (182.08) fixes the missing cursor problems on second and third monitors, which is good. What is bad however is now on the second and third monitors OpenGL performance is TERRIBLE. Dreadful cursor lags and blocky artifacts all over the place so you can't tell what you've painted!!!!! The bigger the cursor the worse it is..... it's not normal lag either, it's jerky and misses big blocks from the document. It is unusable!
Also in the driver 3D settings it does not automatically 'see' PS CS4 and if you add it the default Multiple screens mode is not changed to Compatibility mode (if this is not changed the window on second and third monitors will be black). This has been the default settings in all previous drivers! The program list will also 'forget' that Photoshop has been added to it, although it seems to remember any settings made. You keep having to add it again if you want to change a setting.
While I applaud the fixing of the cursor, I am totally frustrated by the performance. You simple can't paint because of lag and artifacts because you can't see what you are doing.
It's better with OpenGL turned off, but what's the point of that?!?
Since performance was fine on older drivers (just had the disappearing cursor - but I can use the crosshair cursor) I will have to go back to v182.06 till this is fixed! Urgh.
And before anyone says.... I did three clean uninstalls, cleaned out the reg, and reinstalls, turned off OpenGL in PS beforehand and everything I could think of or has previously been suggested. Without any different results.
I'll try letting Nvidia know, but since they never listen to me before I shan't hold my breath
