I notice that I didn't need to reboot either, and the other monitor started working without me having to choose the settings, nice...

These options have been rock solid since about nvidia drivers in the 40's (versions numbers I mean, they are up 175-180 something like that now), you had the 3 option for dual monitors, clone, extend and the other was called dual view I think so like an extra bit of screen relestate to plonk stuff on, and then Vista comes along an we somehow lost the extend, and now Win 7 is here and none of them work. Have you noticed also on Win 7 RC1, there are no options to report bugs like in the previous beta?

I try DNA-Ati driver but this works only if I disable digital driver enforcement in advanced boot option but it isn't permanently. Anybody has a working solution to this problem? working digitally signed driver? thanks Hi,
