Hola,

Right now I have a 22' TFT monitor, and a 19' CRT lying around. I thought I could hook them up as a dual screen setup, but the results were not really good..

I have an nvidia 9600GT graphics card, and tried to set things up trough it's nview app. Is it really impossible to set the two screens to different resolutions/refresh rates?
My TFT goes on 1680x1050, and the CRT 1280x960 (refresh rates are 60mhz and 100mhz).
Whenever I tried to set things up, I could only set one resolution and refresh rate...
Is this a software (nview's) issue or this is natural?

You need to set the resolution is display properties, not nview. Set the monitors to be separate (not mirrored, then go into display properties and you will be able to set different resolutions.

There is no options in display properties to set that... (only one monitor is displayed, no One/Two numbered). Only nview detects that two monitors are attached. And even if I set my monitors to span in nview, it only offers to set one resolution...
