I have a geforce 6600, I want to have 2 lcd's hooked up, each running a different resolution.

I thought I could do this in the past, but that was with an ati card I think and maybe the resolutions weren't different.

anyway, is this possible? I want to run my main display at 1920x1200 and a 2nd lcd at 1280x1024.

if its possible, I have no idea how to get it working, I'm forced to use this nvidia control panel crap.

You can't use the 'settings' tab in the windows display properties? That's how i set mine, you just select each monitor independantly then use the slider to change the resolution....

the option wasn't there.

but i manged though one of the things I tried, to enable that option and disable some nvidia stuff after a reboot.

so now the option is there again and I have got it working

the things I tried were to disable some services and change a registry setting (although i think that wasn't the one that did it)

so...windows display settings > nvidia gaypanel.
