I have 2 monitors hooked up and cannot get the "extend desktop" option to work in windows 7. When I try to enable it, my main monitor flashes and flickers until the 15 seconds are up and it reverts back to normal. This has happened with multiple different monitor setups and with updated drivers.
 
Easiest fix i know of is clean install of win 7, it automatically sets up whatever is connected.
And Win 7 installs fast.
 
What's the second monitor? What's the resolution you're setting for it before applying? Have to tried to use the nvidia panel to do this or only the Window's settings?
