Using nView Dualview Mode
Note:
You must have
at least
two displays connected to your computer to be able to
view the nView Span mode settings.
nView Dualview mode treats every display as a separate device. Dualview mode is
sometimes called “native mode” because it is the native mode supported by
Windows multi-display configurations; i.e. it is the multi-display mode defined by
Microsoft and supported by Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Dualview mode is equivalent to selecting the
Extend my Windows desktop onto this
monitor. . .
setting on the Windows Display Settings page, which gives you an
extended workspace.
When you start
Windows
XP
using multiple displays, Windows is pre-configured for
Dualview mode. This is not the case for Windows 2000. To enable Dualview in
Windows 2000
, you need to install Dualview from the nView Display Settings page,
as explained in subsequent sections.
