    Hi everyone.
    Really can't figure out what to do with this one... Anyway here is the problem:
    I connected a second monitor (LG) via DVI to my laptop and went into the nVidia control panel to choose Dualview (want to be able to run 1 thing on my laptop monitor and another on my secondary monitor), but i could only choose "Choose only 1 screen". I tried going into my display settings, and again it only showed 1 screen! How can I get it to show two screens? Is it because of my beta driver? (169.04)
    I know that the monitor is hooked up right, because I could get my display transfered over to my secondary monitor (my laptop screen would go black), but I wan't to be able to multi-task in FlighSimX, like having my flightdeck on my laptop monitor, and have charts, checklists etc. on my LG monitor.
    Would somebody please help?

    I'm using Vista Home Premium (32-bit) and the 169.04 beta driver.
