Hi,
I have a problem I can't expand my desktop to my third monitor, when I try to enable it it just won't, I hit apply and the set-up gets reset.
Does anyone have a solution ?

Download current 'official' nVidia drivers - 71.84 as of today.
Uninstall all graphics drivers, in control panel.
Reboot.
In BIOS set AGP primary (WinXP/XP64) or PCI if 98/ME/.
Reboot
Cancel any 'New hardware detected dialogues.
Instal Forceware 71.84s - ONCE - it runs both cards.
Follow steps in nView Wizard though 'should' popup.
If the nView wizard fails to run and you are looking at one monitor:
Right click desktop, properties, settings, advanced, GForce tab, nView settings on pop out menu, select Dual view (for monitors hanging off primary card - I'm guessing 2).
Close this.
Back to Settings click on each monitor individually and set up resolution and refresh rates as appropriate. Tick 'Extend my desktop onto this monitor' box if blank on monitors 2 and 3.

Go into bios and set Primary graphics to PCI. Try again. My motherboard does not have this issue, yours might...
