Displaying the same image on two monitors

[darkjedi]

Hi all,

I recently built a PC for a client with a 7600 GT 512MB with two monitor outs: one VGA and one DVI. The client wants to be able to put the same desktop on both monitors. Not stretched to fit, the same image. He wants to be able to have his own monitor at his desk and a copy of the image on another larger monitor for his customers. That way they can see what he does.

Can this be done? I may be missing something, but I cannot find a setting for this in the nVidia Drivers.

He is running Vista32 Ultimate with the latest nVidia drivers.

Thanks in advance

It´s called "Clone view", u can have access to it thru the control panel, both monitors have to be connected and turned on in order for that to work haven´t try it on Vista yet so...

Actually, clone mode is the default when two monitors are attached. It will do this unless you specify the option to enable extended desktop.

Thnx for the info... My client does not yet have the second monitor so maybe that is why I did not see anything in the CP. When my client gets the second monitor, I will try setting it as "clone mode"

Thanks again.

That's how it should be. Until a second monitor is detected, the Settings tab will only show one display, and the options for dual monitors will not be present.
