Hi I am running my HTPC and PC from the same comp with dual display on my PNY 8600GT dual DVI. One DVI is connected to my reciever Onkyo SR-606 and other to my samsung monitor.
If the receiver is already on at computer startup then I can choose to display the dual display as dual screen or clone screen through the nvidia setup. This is what I want.
The problem is if I already have the comp on and then turn on the reciever when I need to watch something (which is what I normally do), I only have the option to select clone screen for the nvidia multiple screen setup. There is no option for dual screen which is what I want.
Any way around this problem. Any help will be appreciated. I already tried Ultramon, but with that I can't choose the monitor setup, can only choose which stuff to put on which screen once its already been setup.
