I recently hooked up a second monitor to find out that the ability to simply 'extend' the desktop is gone...you can only 'span' your entire desktop now or clone it....neither of these are what I need.
here's a pic of my control panel for nvidia: Text
I did a little googling and did not find a fix.
I have done this before so I don't think I'm smoking crack but dang that was a cool feature and it no longer seems to exist...I use to pick each monitor's resolution and could put whatever i wanted on that second monitor as if it was simply an 'extended' desktop.
Have I missed a simple setting somewhere???
pertinent hardware:
8800 gts...latest drivers
winxp sp2
monitors: HP LP2065(20") and Samsung 515V(15")
