GeForce 7800GT - latest drivers - TV Out Resolution issue

I used to use my television (NTSC) as a second monitor, had it running
last night actually, and in the NVIDIA control panel I could change both
my monitor's resolution and my television's resolution independently.
Now, however, my only choice is to have both of them act as a horizontal
span. How can I make it so that I can use "Dualview" like before and
switch the resolutions separately?

I have a FX5600 and ran into this problem before too. The solution
that worked for me was to set the display properties to a single
monitor. Make sure that the TV is connected so it's detected on
boot-up. To know if it's working, you should see your motherboard
logo (windows logo) when the computer starts. This action is what
displays the dual-view option in Nvidia's control panel. I don't
know why the dual-view option disappears now and then but that's
how I was able to get it back.

Thanks Sam, that works. I just wish I didn't have to reboot anytime I
want to re-enable Dualview.

Glad to hear it worked. I know what you mean, I hate rebooting too,
it's annoying. At least now we know it's a software issue and not
hardware since we both have different cards. When I get a chance,
I'm going to let Nvidia know about the problem and hopefully it'll
get fixed in the near future.

Mhmm. It doesn't happen with two actual monitors.

With two monitors, you can change the settings on the fly without
losing the dual-view option?
