Enabling nView Span/Clone Modes

Enabling nView Span/Clone Modes: Windows 2000

Note: 

Under Windows 2000, switching between nView Span/Clone and 

Dualview modes requires restarting your computer.

To disable Dualview mode

 and, therefore, make nView Span and Clone modes 

accessible, follow these steps:

1

Click 

Properties

 > 

Settings

 tab.

2

Be sure to click the display image 

so that it is the selected display. 

3

Click 

Advanced

4

Click the NVIDIA GPU tab and then the 

Desktop Utilities

 option from the 

Media Center menu.

5

Click to 

uncheck

 the option 

Enable Dualview

 

(Treat multiple outputs . . . )

.

6

Click 

Apply

 and restart your computer. 

After the system starts up, if the NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager Setup 

Wizard appears, run through the Wizard. (See the 

NVIDIA

 

nView Desktop 

Manager 2.0 User’s Guide

 for details.)

7

Right click to display the properties menu, then select 

Properties

 > 

Settings

 

tab. 
When you are in Windows 2000 (non-Dualview) nView Span or Clone 

mode, your Windows Display Properties Settings panel shows only one 

monitor image (

Figure 5.22)

.

8

Click 

Advanced

 to display the NVIDIA GPU tab (

Figure 5.23

).

9

Click the NVIDIA GPU tab. The Media Center menu appears (

Figure 5.24
