Dual screen problem with forceware drivers :\

[uZi]

Currently using the latest forcewares (non-beta) with a 8800GTX. And I'm trying to use my dual screen setup as I used to with my X1900.. however if I choose to use both screen in horizontal mode, it gives me a giant 2560x1024 display, instead of 2x1280x1024 displays (not in clone mode.. two seperate desktops).

Basically, atm if I maximize an application it stretches across both monitors, instead of just maximizing to one screen as I want.. anyone know how to fix it? - just googled for a bit but couldnt find anything :S

You dont mean ATI x1900 yes?

Sorry.. rig is as in my sig.. I'm now on a 8800 GTX.. shoulda made that clear - edited it now

Thought I'd fixed it.. had to enable nView and untick "enable window spanning across multiple displays", which has sorted maximizing applications - they now maximize to one screen..

However, full screen video still spans both screens.. which is obviously rubbish :S

anyone know how to sort that one?

169.XX drivers have issues esp if TV-OUT and its Vista.

It's XP and I'm using the two DVI connectors, not TV-out :/

Hmm, cant help, I got same Vista issue as all others, 174's work better as functions readded but crash lots lol.

Have been trying all day to find a way to fix it.. I guess they've just removed the option.. others seemed to have an additional "DualView".. or extended desktop option, cannot find it anywhere in the latest official drivers though
