Shortcut to extend a screen in dual-view Solved/Closed

Question

Hello everyone,After searching for a long time... a very long time on the net,I wasn't able to find a solution to my problem.I have scoured all the posts on CCM regarding shortcuts, and it hasn't helped at all.I recently acquired an NVidia GeForce FX5200 graphics card.It roughly meets all my needs: dual-view, clone, and single display.I find that the NVidia software part is frankly lacking...e.g., inconsistencies, bugs, lack of clarity and explanations.But aside from that, I am fully satisfied with the card (even if it is obsolete)!What I want is to have an ergonomic method to switch from PC only mode to dual-view mode (PC + TV)using a keyboard shortcut (which NVidia apparently did not plan).I have followed 3 leads, but none have worked:- doing it through NVidia's features (maybe hidden)- doing it through Windows display properties- doing it through the registry (but apparently there are several modifications to be made).So, if someone (or anyone) has a solution, it is frankly welcome.Thank you in advance!

Well, it’s never too late to respond... but I found the ULTIMATE trick for what our buddy is asking: win + P
there you go, without going through the Windows settings, without overloading the RAM with -yet- another little software that starts up at boot...

Most laptops (if not all) come with such shortcuts (Fn key + F1 to F12 key). However, when it comes to desktop computers, I have never encountered such features.

Thank you 2Cent,

So, the problem remains unsolved!

I even tried TVTool yesterday, but damn it, no shortcut for dual-view.

If every time I want to extend the desktop I have to go through the Display properties of Windows
or through the more than obscure corners of the software provided by nVidia...

It's really not practical!

There is still a lead I've explored, which is to use AutoHotKey scripts...
And there I work around the problem by automating my keyboard actions,
but unfortunately, it only works under certain conditions, and it doesn't work very well!

So... I'm still looking for solutions!

Hello,

For the options you're looking for, I'm sorry to inform you that there are sometimes solutions with Nvidia, but for that, you need to update your video driver, ;)
or install different drivers (for example, for ATI cards, --> Catalyst in addition to the driver)
so there you go, sorry, for Nvidia, I don't know,

Good luck, ++

Thank you very much for this information Jase75!

Unfortunately, I don't think I can obtain any other nVidia tools,
since I have already installed the latest version.
At least, it seems to me...

After checking, my version is 6.14.11.6921

If you have any other information on newer drivers,
I am open to any suggestions.

I find it shameful that they do not integrate
such necessary features...

See you next time!

Hi, I found the solution to your shortcut problem. I found a small software that allows you to have a second taskbar on the second screen, have two different wallpapers, and plenty of other things. When I installed it, I noticed a small icon appeared next to the clock, and when you right-click on it, you have the option "disable secondary" or "enable secondary" depending on whether your second screen is activated or not, and it works like a charm. Plus, it puts two little buttons at the top right that let you expand your window across both screens or move your window from one screen to the other.
There you go, bye bye
