I installed Dual View and now want to uninstall it but don't see a way. I have two monitors but I don't always want to compute with both on. I actually had to turn my other monitor on to get this window. I have my browser open on monitor 1, but if I create a new post, it goes to monitor 2, whether it's on or not! Of course, this is driving me nuts. I didn't have any of this crap happening a couple of days ago before I installed Dual View. Do I actually have to uninstall my video driver to get rid of it?

You should just be able to open up the dual view properties and turn it off. If I'm not mistaken, isn't there an icon by your clock that you can right click on to get to your settings? Anyway, once you turn it off you can just run your dual displays through windows anyway as long as it's XP.

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.

Hmm. It's behaving now. Has a mind of its own. Fully expect it to get knarly again next time I reboot. Then I'll think about reinstalling the nvidia driver. My _real_ Display 2 should arrive next week. I guess I'll revisit this ish then.
