Hi everybody, just wanted to let everyone know, we have our dual display working now. We had the NVIDIA card set for digital. Changed the setting to analog. Also (in properties) set to horizontal span (This stretches the desktop over BOTH monitors, but locks the icons and the taskbar to the primary display, eliminating the problems in the above post). This works as long as you do not change anything when you start up/shut down the computer, however, if you turn the computer on without the TV hooked up, it will cause it to go back to single display mode and require you to reset the settings. The easiest way I found to change this was to create 2 display profiles. These are accessed by right clicking the desktop, clicking nView properties, then the Profiles tab at the top. Make sure the box to save display settings is checked. Then, create a profile in Single Display mode, save this one as default or single, it doesn't really matter(You must save after each step, or you will lose your changes). Then, create a new display profile, named dual display. Make sure the box to save settings is still checked, then change the monitor set up to dual display.(Read above).Again, save this profile. I then went back and set up hotkeys, CTRL+ALT+S for single display mode, CTRL+ALT+D for Dual Display mode.


NOTE: After you are done using dual display mode, ALWAYS go back into single display before shutting the computer off. After you plug the TV in, load the dual display mode and you should be good to go.

Any questions, drop a line here and I will do my best to answer them.

Thanks!

PS-My 17 year old kid figured this out. He's a genius.
