Had problem running dual lcd's

[tylerdustin2008]

Ok i had a problem setting up my second lcd.


I wanted to be able to make apps pop up in one and be able to drag to the other lcd.

I also wanted the whole taskbar running across the bottom of both lcd's.

And of course the game will only run in one of the lcd's.


The fix.

Click on the desktop clicked on NVIDIA display and clicked on my lcd. Go to nView display settings and select DUALVIEW under nView display mode. And select which monitor you wish to be your primary.

You will want to download Ultramon. Install it then restart your comp. Then once windows is running again open Ultramon, if not already running. Right click on it and select the options you wish to have. And dont worry about it if it looks confusing, it is not. It is only confusing if you are to double click on it.

are you using clone or horizontal span?

 

[tylerdustin2008]

horizontal span, and are there any programs i should be using?

Dual view should be disabled when you have your cards in sli mode, do you have the monitors connected to the same card ?

 

[tylerdustin2008]

oh ok, well i need help. I know enough about computers, i have just never messed with dual monitors.

i have it but have no idea how to use it. I everything to open in one screen and be able to drag it to the other screen

well, i have a dual monitor setup... unless you tell the game to run at a specific resolution it should automically just use your primary display.

example: BF2 never goes dual, same with Oblivion, or any other game... my question to you is, what game is this?

 

[tylerdustin2008]

how do i set it up where the computer recognizes 2 lcd's, but not a clone. i like horizontal span but do not like the fact stuff is in the middle, like the logon screen,, it is in the very middle where there is an 1" of plastic

Oh and i have it in horizontal span. Is that what i should be using?

 

[tylerdustin2008]

nevermind guys i got it myself.

EDIT: No i havent.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

actually no i havent, i have it setup with dualview. And i want to be able to stretch the desktop pic so it divides it over the two lcd's. And i would want the taskbar to go on both lcd's.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

ok i have the taskbar on the second lcd working, now how do i get the desktop image to split onto both screens? I need answers people!!!!!

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Nevermind i finally got it.......
