Ok, I have just fixed a 15 inch LCD monitor that I received for free and I want to add it to my system as a 2nd display. I have connected it up to the graphics card and setup Nvidia Dual View. All goes well Execpt it will not allow me to select 1440x900 resolution (my main monitors max setting), when I select it, the screen goes all fuzzy and I cant see anything. Is this a faulty nvidia driver or something?? Thanks George W Bush - '...more and more of our imports are coming from overseas.'

Im assuming dual view is where it's two seperate desktops in that case I hated the nvidias drivers for that crap. I used the built in windows one and worked helluva lot better.

updated to latest Nvidia drivers and its working fine is it possible to set it up so that you can play a game on the main screen while watching a video etc on the other screen?? (I know you can use window mode for some games to do this but is it possible for non windowed games?) George W Bush - '...more and more of our imports are coming from overseas.'

I think the video would conflict but what you could do is start the video on the screen that isn't set to default then start up your game and see what happens. I know I can use my other monitor to put my messanger screens in so I can see who's saying what to me when im playing a game and can determine if their worth answering lol

You can do it, use VLC for playing the video and play around with the video overlay controls.. works fine for me ! I always sit watching videos while playing games (well.. while playing WOW)..
