Dualview (Nvidia)
For various reasons I recently changed out a motherboard - which then revereted the video system back to a *VERY* fristrating configuration that I cannot, for the life of me, remember how I solved.
One PC (Vista Ultimate 64 bit). One video card (don't ask about SLi), NVidia GeForce 8600 dual DVI ouput. Two LCD monitors....
17" "Samsung" on the left side. 19" "Sceptre" on the right side. Both choice and physical dimensions demand this way round to fit into the furniture (or they would both be 19" or larger).
NVidia control panel gives me dual view set-up configuration options that include two options in each of two scenarios;
Option box 1: Which way would you like the monitors? (Choices are...)
Samsung Left, Sceptre Right (Yes) or
Sceptre Left, Samsung Right (No).
Option box 2: Which monitor would you like to be the primary?
Samsung (No)
Sceptre (Yes).
Select and click "Apply"
As soon as I click "Apply" it resets itself to Sceptre Left (Primary), Samsung Right.
This means that the monitors are showing correct image (Primary and Secondary) but are reversed - so mousie will demand to scroll off the right side of the right hand monitor to appear at the left side of the left monitor.
Every time I try to reset - it resets back again on its own.
It *will* let me set Samsung Left, Sceptre Right *provided* that I have the Samsung (17", Left) as Primary - and that don't work for what I need/want. It will also allow me to have Sceptre as Primary, provided it's on the left, but it's not - and can't be.
