Above was my original post in the Nvidia section of video cards, I've gone a few months just "dealing" with it but it's beginning to annoy me once again. Initially I was using a GTX 680 but I'm now on a GTX 690 with the same issues, albeit newer drivers of course.
I'll re-quote it below.
Anyone happen to have any suggestions on how to correct this? It seems that my receiver may be conflicting with the Nvidia drivers but I'm stumped on how to correct it.

Hey all. I've noticed a few oddities upon switching back to the nVidia camp that occur both on my GTX 580 and a GTX 680 that I had for about a month, and I'm hoping someone can shed some light in regards to what is going on.
My secondary display, a TV, is connected via HDMI on my card through my receiver, a Pioneer Elite SC-05. This is on Windows 7 x64. The problem persists on both the 296.10 and current 301.24 nVidia drivers that I've been using. These are the issues I am experiencing:
1) Enabling an extended display through the regular windows display settings does nothing, and leaves my TV with a black screen. Using the nVidia control panel I can get it to work, but I must apply the settings 2 - 3 times for anything to properly display on the TV. Audio does work immediately, and the TV is not actively "seeking" a signal, so it does believe something is being displayed despite it being black.
2) Settings are not saved. If I disable the extended desktop to run in single display mode on my monitor, and attempt to re-enable extended at any point afterward, I must move again move it's position and reapply the setting 2-3 times for anything to display.
As an extension of this, if I restart the computer with the receiver and TV on and my computer in extended display mode, it reverts to the default setting which is choosing my TV as the main display and monitor as the "extended" portion, but once again the TV displays nothing until I am able to re-apply the correct settings in the nVidia control panel. In this situation, this becomes a bit of an annoyance as Monitor ends up as the extended portion and it's attempting to display the nVidia control panel on my TV which has no signal .
On my 6950 I experienced none of these issues, so I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. Has anyone dealt with this in the past and have any idea what's going on?
