Evening all.
Just bought left 4 dead. I'd rather like to play it, so installed, updated (had a moment of passion with my Virgin 50 meg modem after it did that in about 12 minutes
) - then was told I should really update the video drivers. Felt this was somewhat unnecessary, considering they allow TF2 and HL2 #1,#2 and various other games to run flawlessly on steam, but what the hell. Hit download, 1 minute later I had them, another minute and they were installed. Reboot. Monitors not reconfigured. Fine, went to nvidia control panel. Erm. Wtf.
That wonderful option that allows a start / desktop bar on one screen and a free monitor adjacent (I have twin 19"s running off the spec in sig below via dvi) 'Twin View' I believe its called - is missing. Options are as follows:
- Only use one display (Single) - Pointless
- The same on both displays (Clone) - Useless unless my eyesight mutates and allows me to train individual eyes to separate screens - think of the pr0n possibilities!
- As one large horizontal desktop (Horizontal span) - Useless for playing games and or watching movies simultaneously - reason for having dual screens!
- As one large vertical desktop (Vertical span) - Also useless.
Where the bloody hell has my beloved twin view gone?
Help would be appreciated.
