One of my favorite tools to help my write my concluding paragraphs was Word’ “AutoSummarize” feature.  I could not find it in the new design (which I am one of they few who actually enjoy it).  Anyways, it is really easy to add.

1. Right Click on any item in your ribbon and go to “Customize Quick Acess Toolbar.”
2. Once there, select “All Commands” from the “Choose Commands from” drop-down box.
3. In the scroll box below it, scroll down and click on AutoSummarize.
4. To the right click “Add > >.”
5. Click OK, and you’re done

Have fun using AutoSummarize.

So, I finally got the balls (and money) to go ahead and order a second monitor for my system so I could finally go dual screen. Plugged everything in, and it worked great; however, to my dismay, when I played a video full screen (in any media player (windows media, videolan vlc, mplayer…), I found was that upon opening something to full screen, it decided to span both monitors, chopping my image in half.  This isn’t good while trying to watch a movie with a 2″ gap in the middle. I searched the Internet and to my dismay I found an artice that stated that due to some reason or another, nVidia decided to not include the ability to configure the monitors independently for my 8500GT (or it seems all 8 Series cards). This prevented me from doing my favorite thing on my computer, watching Blu-Ray movies in full-screen mode.  Instead

I then remembered about a site a while ago I used when I had a similar compatibility issue with my nVidia card. I proceeded to Omega Drivers and download the latest nVidia drivers he produced. This solved my problem by allowing me to treat my two monitors as independent screens, allowing me to go full size on either one. Step-by-step instructions follow.

1. Download the Omega Drivers and save them.
2. Uninstall the currently installed nVidia drivers and restart. Don’t install any windows drivers upon restarting. Your computer should be in it’s minimum resolution.
3. Run the install package for the Omega Drivers. If it asks you about Windows Logo Certification tell it continue anyways. Or, if it asks you to overwrite a file, tell it yes.
4. After installation restart your machine.
5. It should start up in minimum resolution like it did earlier.  Now, go to your system tray and open the nVidia control panel.
6. Go to the ‘Set up multiple displays” section.
7. Tell it you want your monitors “Configured independently from each other (Dualview).”
8. Below that select your primary and secondary monitor and which one you want as the primary.
9. Apply the settings.

That should do it!  I hope this has helped some of you out there in the world of dual screens and 8500GTs.  I am sure this method can also apply to the 8600 and 8800.  Actually, probably the entire 8 series.   Good Luck!
