I have a ti4600 card running on Win2000 SP4 and using the latest WHQL approved driver: 56.72. After installing the driver I have an Nvidia icon in my tray that I can right click for various options including choosing which of my displays I want to use:
Single display (analog or digital - I use both)
Clone (analog + digital or digital + analog)
I generally use single display, digital for my LCD, but choose Clone digital + analog when I'm using the digital out from the card to power my rear projector. Doing that, I can see my desktop, etc. with my LCD and my home theater screen, which ever I prefer.
This works out OK for me except for one glaring thing. If I access the aforementioned taskbar icon to change my nview settings a second time within a particular Windows session, I generally (maybe always) get an exception error and the taskbar icon disappears. If I want to change the nview setting then I have to do it the hard way, going into display properties, settinngs, advanced, geforce4 ti4600 tab, nview display mode. When I reboot, things are "OK" again. However, what I've been finding is that at some point for no evident reason, the icon does not return upon reboot. The only way I know of to make it return is to reinstall my video driver, a PITA, of course. If anybody could shed some light on this set of circumstances, I'd appreciate it! Is there a way I can get my taskbar icon back without removing my display and reinstalling the driver, for one thing?
