Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Dual monitors - change from 'DVI and DVI' to 'DVI and S-Video'

I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I use an Nvidia 7600GT on Vista (32bit)

For the most part I use two monitors both connected via dvi.

However, when using media center and watching films I'd rather make use of my tv using the svideo output.

I know it's not possible to use both monitors as well as the tv, but I would be perfectly happy just using one monitor and a tv.

Essentially I want to change from:

Monitor (1of2) + Monitor (2of2)
to
Monitor (1of2) + TV

Any ideas on how I can do this, using ultramon, without having to load the nvidia control panel and change the settings there every time?

Thanks in advance

UltraMon can't do this, but the following might help: [HOW TO] Command Line: Setting nView with multiple monitors

Won't work unfortunately, get the following return:

"Error: API not supported on this version of Windows."

Any other 3rd party apps that could work perhaps?

Just posting to say I'm also interested in this feature. I tried the idea suggested by Christian, but had the same problem as Chris. nVidia has apparently not implemented this API in Vista for some reason.
