Nvidia Cloning => Out of Range error

[Morten Seeberg]

I have a EN7600GT on Windows 7 64bit setup in a clone-screen setup running 2
monitors at 1280x720 60hz (using DVI->VGA converters) and its been working
with cloning on Vista, Win7 32bit Beta using both MS native and Nvidia
drivers.

I then upgraded recently to the final Win7 and switched to 64bit, and since
then I have run into a strange problem.

I can setup 1280x720 60hz on both monitors indiviually (both via Win7 and
Nvidia tool), but the minute I ask Windows 7 (using the Win7 resolution
config page) to clone, both monitors turn off and complains about "out of
range" (just like if you set up a frequency or resolution which they dont
support). But I KNOW they support it since it works individually....
I can also setup up "extended desktop" running 1280x720 on both monitors
simultaneously, no problem.

Have tried driver versions:
- What ever version win7 came with
- 8.16.11.9107 via windows update (nvidia calls this 191.07)
- 196.21 from Nvidia website


Any help/ideas???

Issue resolved. It turned out that even though I was set up for 1280x720
when I changed to cloning, windows for some reason changed to 1600x1200
(which none of my monitors supported in this set up....)

So finally I dragged another monitor to the location, and changed to
cloning, I was then able to set it back to 1280x720. It surprises me again
how idiotic Windows can be Who designs a piece of software, which
changed UP in resolution without asking the user, instead of choosing the
resolution the user requested

try using "dualview"

Where is that set up? Havent seen that option in Nvidia tool, isnt dual-view
the same as cloning?
