Case in point, I had to turn on my 2nd display to make this reply! It is odd, indeed, and the kicker is that it isn't absolutely consistent. Sometimes, a reply opens in the first display. It just may have something to do with the fact that I have a utility installed, Autosizer. I have it configured to open all my browser windows maximized. Maybe it's coming into play here, maybe not. Anyway, I'm sick of (almost) all my Anandtech replies and new posts opening maximized in Display 2. Now, before installing Dual View I had an nView icon in my tray. Now it's gone and nothing has replaced it.
Here's a trippy thing. If I right click an item in my Windows 2000 tray, I have access to nView Options, and can pick the display for it, 1 or 2. However, whichever one I pick it remains right where it is - maximized on Display 2! Again, I see nowhere to turn off Dual Displays, and I've looked pretty much all over, seems to me. Yes, Windows 2000, not XP here.
Got a feeling I'm going to have to uninstall my nVidia driver and reinstall. Not a huge thing (I've done that a few times the last few months), however I'd really like to get the hang of what's going on here. It could be some funky code. It seems to me that the nVidia driver is a very complex beast. It could be quite immature underneath it all.
