Hi people.

Decided to go out and buy a second monitor today as I would really like to use one for gaming, one for msn / forums.

The problem I have is that one screen is a 19" Standard Aspect, and the other is a 14" Widescreen.

What I want to do is somehow enable Dualview, I think its called, so that I can view a movie / play a game on one screen whilst on the net / using msn / editing my site on the other.

Here is the problem.

In the Nvidia monitor setup config the only options I can get for the screens are, single display, clone and horizontal / vertical span.

I really want to be able to use the Daulview config so That I can view what I described above.

I have tryed using horizontal view but this gives me problems, this spans the game across both screens and also makes my games run at 2560 x 1024.

Is there any way I can do what I am wanting to do:confused: :(

Thanks!

Its much appriciated!!
 
you should be able to do dual view by extending into your 2nd monitor (and have different resolutions for both. Do this through Display properties/settings - just click the extend my windows desktop.
 
Yeah I can do this now, had to install ultramon to enable the Dualview :confused:

Thanks for the quick reply BTW. :)

Anway, just now wondering, when Im playing a game on one monitor and on the net in another window on the other, is there any way that I can make it so that whenever I click the other window my game doesn't minimise?

Thanks :)
