    I have purchased a Dell 630's and a Dell 830 for video editing purposes... Unfortunately after puchasing, I found out the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M does not support Full screen video on a secondary monitor in clone or dualview mode.

    Does anyone know of a modified driver that I can install that will allow full screen video output?? I am a first time poster and NEED help desperately here. Dell is useless with it's support of NVIDIA drivers.

    You might try the laptopvideo2go.com drivers. Just head to http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers and choose your OS. Once you download and extract the appropriate driver file, save one of the INF links inside the directory it creates, then run the setup file.

    I just tried the latest driver and an error came up saying "Could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your hardware". Any other ideas?

    Did you save the INF link for the driver you downloaded? If you didn't replace the INF file in the driver folder, it won't install. For Example, if you wanted the 163.76 driver for Windows XP (the newest driver available), you would first need to download and run the 16376.exe file on your desktop. This would create a 16376 folder on your desktop.

    Then, you would save the following file INSIDE the 16376 folder:
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/infs/160series/16314/nv4_disp.inf

    Only then would you be able to run the setup file.

    That link did not take me to anything... i did not do this, and still don't quite understand. I am a somewhat amature with this stuff. Thanks for your help, if you could post the link again, I would appreciate it.

    That's why I didn't post a link originally...they don't tend to work too well from here. Go to http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers, and right-click on the "INF" directly to the right of 163.14, then save it inside the 16376 folder you created earlier.

    I tried 3 or 4 different ones, none of them gave me the full screen video option and one of them really screwed things with my computer up.... Any other ideas? Or a better recommendation of which driver to download?

    If those drivers didn't offer the full-screen functionality, that may simply be a hardware limitation in your video card.

    Isn't this a limitation in all nVidia cards? I've never been able to play a movie on the laptop and the TV at the same time.

    Clone mode might not be able to handle driving two full-screen displays (though it SHOULD - I just don't waste my time with clone mode), but DualView puts out a full size image on my GeForce 6600 GTS, and I can play full screen video on either screen.
