Figure 4.11
Multiple Displays in nView Horizontal Span Mode
• Under nView Span modes, Windows “stretches” the background wallpaper out to
cover your large “logical” display and it stretches the taskbar out to fill your large
“logical” display, as shown in
. If you maximize an application, the
application will be maximized to fill the large “logical” display screen – i.e., both
displays.
• Under Windows XP/2000, you can run nView Span modes with more than two
displays. For example, if you are using a Quadro NVS-based graphics card to
which you have four displays connected, you can have two sets of two spanned
displays.
If you are using a Quadro NVS-based graphics card, refer to the document titled
“

Using Horizontal & Vertical Span Modes
Note:
Span modes do not work if you have only one display attached.
In Span mode, the Windows desktop area is spread across both displays. This mode
can be set for multiple categories of displays, although display limitations may
override the capabilities of your NVIDIA multi-display graphics card. For example, if
