Whatever happened to their "nView" multi-display utility? It used to be

bundled automatically with their driver downloads. It is just not available

for Vista 64-bit?

TJD:

NView is part of the NVidia Control Panel.

Go to Control Panel, Switch to Classic View, and click on the NVidia Control

Panel.

Your TV (or second display) must be previously connected so that you can use

Video and TV option.

I am not running the 162.22's (I have the 162.18's) so I cannot go further

on this newer release.

Just curious of your own experience level. I am running a Gforce 8600 (MSI

build) on a Windows Vista Platform. I have downloaded this driver and I am

currently using it. The new overscan compensation is great. Here my

question to you. I am not a gamer but I am using this computer to run a Home

Theatre . Windows Media Player as well as the major other DVD players all

have Horizontal line noise on my HDTV (only when playing a DVD). The only

software DVD player I can get to run a good picture is DVD X Player. DVD X

Player does not support DTS digital audio but (hard to believe) Windows Media

Player does. I am not getting a whole lot of help from MSI and Microsoft

would want me to pay to report the problem.

It's interesting to me that "DVD X" can write a software thast works on my

flat panel as well as my HDTV but windows Media player and the others that

use some of it's resources do not work. Anyway if you know of anybody or

anywhere I might find some information about my problem I would greatly

appreciate it.

 

Regards

Steve:

MSI 8600 GTS down here.

I don't have much experience about plugging TV's to my display adapter

however, regarding to your issues let me suggest you something.

First of all, these are my assumptions, based on what you wrote.

1.- DVD X doesn't produce "horizontal line" noise

2.- Movie can be viewed with no "horizontal line" noise in your monitor with

any player you choose

 

Download and try the freeware "Media Player Classic"

(http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Media_Player_Classic.htm) which has now

a "mod" converting it into "Home Cinema" (v1.0.9.0)

Go here: http://www.free-codecs.com/Media_Player_Classic_download.htm and

grab it.

Media Player Classic has DTS built in decoding.

In order to get all those audio channels pounding in the air (I'm not at my

PC at home right now) there is a Filters option that is only available (i.e.

not grayed) during playback.

Go there and enable the 5.1 channels (default is 2).

Good luck!

Carlos
