MSI G4Ti4200-VTP: DualView + Windows XP doesn't work?
This is a discussion about MSI G4Ti4200-VTP: DualView + Windows XP doesn't work? in the Nvidia General Topics category; Hi, I have an MSI GeForce Ti4200 G4Ti4200-VTP (128Mb) and I installed it (and the 40.72 drivers). Although I don't have 2 CRT displays at home, I decided to try the multi-display features of the board with a TV.

Hi,
I have an MSI GeForce Ti4200 G4Ti4200-VTP (128Mb) and I installed it (and the 40.72 drivers).
Although I don't have 2 CRT displays at home, I decided to try the multi-display features of the board with a TV. After connecting the TV and performing the display detection procedure, and had 2 avaliable devices to use in clone and span. Nevertheless I was never able to use the DualView mode that Windows XP was supposed to support by itself, I mean, I have only a single display on the main display property tab (the one where you define the resolution and the color depth), and not 2 as stated on the nView online manual.
This is my question: shouldn't that tab have 2 displays, even if the second is the TV? Or doesn't the DualView mode of Windows XP work well with TV's? I have this idea that some laptop PC's with TV Out manage to use that output as a 2nd display.
Best regards,
Norberto Henriques
