How do I extend my desktop using Nvidia?

Question

I'm using Nvidia 8800 GT with the latest drivers.

This is what I would like:

1920x1200 on my big SAMSUNG monitor. with the task bar starting and ending in this monitor. 1600x2050 on my small DELL monitor. with NO task bar. Just a blank wallpaper.

I could do this on my laptop. (I'd just plug any monitor in, and the monitor will have a task bar, while the laptop will NOT have a taskbar..and just have a desktop)

In my Nvidia control center, I only see "Single, Clone, Horizontal Span, and Verital Span" There is no DUAL VIEW??

What settings can I do this , with Nvidia control center?

Answer 1

Must you do it with the Nvidia panel?

In XP, you can right click your desktop, click "Properties", then the "Settings" tab.

Click the image of your extra monitor, and check the "extend my desktop on to this monitor" checkbox.

It'll be similar on Vista and Windows 7.

Answer 2

I fixed it.

Nvidia actually has "Dualview"

you just have to restart your computer, and make sure the monitors are plugged in BEFORE it starts.

Answer 3

Horizontal span should do it.
