I just started up two 19" LCD's on my system today. I was wondering the
same thing you are, and while there is a lot of stuff in the nView tools
to play with, you can't even move the monitors left to right in nView.
I've seen nothing so far to give me a taskbar on both monitors. Will
keep looking, but I won't spend $50 + on a 3rd party solution for this.
Will just have to nag NVidia until they get off the pot.
