Strange dual screen behaviour - second screen goes black

Hi All,

So I've recently bought DA2 and trying it out. I happen to run two monitors on my PC. When I run the game in full-screen, the game runs full screen on my primary monitor, but for some reason my secondary monitor goes completely black. What gives?

None of my other DirectX-based games in full-screen do this. Is there a setting I can change to have DA2 behave properly? I don't really want to switch to windowed mode considering that it looks absolutely terrible (imagine a distracting blue bar across parts of your screen), but the whole point of having two monitors was that I can use that second monitor to put other things on, and alt-tab out when necessary. It's a viable workflow with every other game I've had - why not DA2?

(Also, considering that no self-respecting developer runs with only one monitor, how was this missed?)

Thanks in advance.

PC Spec:
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
EVGA Geforce GTX 470
Drivers 260.99 (yes I'll be updating these as soon as Nvidia pulls the latest out of beta)

Also, with further testing, it seems to be pot luck as to whether this occurrs, which isn't encouraging. Most of the time I'll get the black screen. Some of the time, DA2 will flicker in and out for a while and then it's correctly displaying full-screen whilst on the second monitor Windows is happily displaying the rest of my desktop.

Oh I should have added that I am using Nvidia's dual screen setup, set to extend in Windows Screen Resolution.

Could it be that DA2 is not playing nice with Aero or Windows Desktop Manager?

I have the same problem with ATI Radeon, but I'm trying to run duplicate displays, so both screens show the same, still the secondary goes blank/black right after DA2 starts.
