Does Nvidia Control panel have an option to set up multiple displays before you have a second monitor plugged in? I have a evga 8800 GTS 320 mb. I have a 19 inch princeton lcd, and i want another 20 innch acer for dual screen. I know you have to go to properties, settings, and click the button to allow windows onto the new monitor.. But that option is not there right now. My friends have that option, but its blacked out (cause they dont have a second monitor) But somebody told me to go into the nvidia control panel. Right now, my panel only has a single monitor option. Does anybody know if the dual view monitor option will show up in the nvidia control panel when i plug in the second monitor?

It should show up when the 2nd monitor is connected.

Under "Display" there's an option called "Run multiple display wizard".
I had my second monitor working within 10 minutes of unpacking it. :)
