Geforce2, ForceWare and no Twin View?
I've got an old Asus Geforce2 GTS and am using the latest ForceWare drivers
from nVidia. It wont let me set up twin view. I can chose to view the desktop on either the TV (comp out) or monitor, but not both. The only display option is 'single'. Some old posts on google groups mention this problem, with no solutions. Is it safe to use NVcleaner witht he new ForceWare drivers, it was written for Detonators. I would be very grateful for some advice or other's experiences. I want to watch DVDs and the output from a digitalTV card on the TV. Cheers David |

So it's one or the other output, but not both. You could pick up any GF 4 MX cheaply and it'll do what you want. |

I'm going to try an app called TVtool that says it will get both the TV and monitor outputs working at once. But I expect the best it will do is clone the output. I'll try my brothers GF4 MX, see it that does what I want. David |

Hey, TVTool works with theTV out and you can have both outputs running to.
The only problem I've seen so far is noise on the TV. There are also video players that will send the overlay to the TV fullscreen. The current problem I am having is with the 53.03 drivers, I cant get into the GeForce settings on the control panel..... "DavidM" djm81@(I hate spam)cam.ac.uk wrote in message ...
