NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager

I have been trying and failing to run LR1.0 for the last week, playing with everything I could find in this forum. Total failure - LR froze within minutes every time I tried to run it. Reloaded LR - changed the library - etc etc.
Finally spotted a comment in LR Extra FAQ - Compatibility Issues. "Unconfirmed at present - NVidia's NView Desktop Manager may cause problems with Lightroom"
So I disabled NView Desktop Manager and voila! - LR now runs - perfectly as far as I can tell so far - but I haven't done any real work yet.
OK OK maybe I should have spotted that tip in LR Extra earlier (don't know how long its been there). But if you're having problems with LR and have NView Desktop Manager running, try disabling it.
Windows XP, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, 2GB (now without NView Desktop Manager!)
Hope this helps someone, Nigel

Why was nVidia nView Desktop Manager Removed?

I recently used Windows Update to upgrade the video driver for my nVidia Quadro FX 880M graphics card for my Thinkpad W510 (Windows 7, 64-bit) . The new version is 9.18.13.1100, which is the same version listed as current at the Lenovo web site. However, the release history for the video driver includes this:
<8.17.12.5738 / 1.0.15.0>
- [Important]
Removed nView Desktop Manager application from this package. Refer to
the Notes section for more information.
The notes say:
- nView Desktop Manager application was removed from this package. In order to
remove the application from your computer, it has to be manually uninstalled.
It is recommended to remove the application before updating to this driver.
I have nView Desktop Manager version 136.53 installed on my machine. It seems to be working fine, but I'm concerned that there may be issues I don't know about. Does anybody have any insight into why nView DM was removed from the video driver distribution some versions back? Should I remove nView DM, or should I keep it installed and hope for the best? It has some features I find useful on my multiple-monitor display setup.
Thanks.

Incompatible with NVidia NView Desktop Manager

Lightroom doesn't work with that software. The manager came preinstalled on my HP desktop. I had trouble getting lightroom to work properly, it would lock up when I tried to use the Develop module.
After much hair tearing I noticed a cryptic message from the NVidia software (while I was uninstalling Lightroom yet again!) I turned off the Desktop Manager feature of my NVidia software and voila! everything works perfectly now!
This was a very frustrating problem. Perhaps it could be added in the FAQs or something.

I use dual monitors.
The features that the desktop manager provides me are;
1) Ability to put different wall papers on each monitor.
2) Ability to "throw" applications from one monitor to the other with one mouse click. This is a very, very important feature.
As an example, when I open explorer, it will generally pop up on one window. Open another window: Pops up in the same place. As opposed to hitting "restore", then dragging across, then maximizing, Nview allows me to hit one button and BAM, the app that was maximized on one monitor is now maximized on the other.
Somewhere is a button that allows me to swap "primary" monitors. . This is important for games that run in "one monitor maximized" configuration. Some games like my widescreen; Some like my standard CRT. :) I have not done this since V1.0 lightroom came out. -> can't remember if that was a desktop manager function or part of the base driver options.

Nview Desktop Manager NVkeystone Boot Camp

So I have installed Boot Camp, and Windows XP service pack 2. I installed the drivers that boot camp give and windows is running great. The problem I am having is enabling the NVKeystone feature inside the Nview Desktop manager - tool's tab. Its greyed out so I can't even enable it. I meet all the requirements for it and have a PC that uses it so I know how it works and everything. I just can't get it to enable. I have even tried the Nvidia drivers with the modded INFs from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
And those work well as drivers, but I get the same problem where the NVkeystone is greyed out.
So I have talked with Nvidia and they are telling me to talk with the Laptop provider which is Apple, and here is what I am hoping for.
A solution. Maybe someone has experience this and solved it themselves, or maybe apple has new drivers for the video card on WinXp, or maybe Apple is working on get the Keystone feature working. Please any info is helpful.
I have searched the web and found not much.

Turns out Nvidia stopped making the NV keystone driver for the 8 series. They did make the driver for the 7 series just stopped at the 8. Anyway maybe Apple will come up with some sweet software that lets me correct trapezoidal keystoning. As for until then, I am going to be trying to make my 8 series card think it is a 7 series in a hope to getting the keystone driver working.

NVidia nView incompatible with AME & PPR (Connecting to Dynamic Link Server timeout)

Figured I'd post this discovery in case others might run into the infamous "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server" when trying Add or Queue a Premiere Pro Sequence using Adobe Media Encoder.
I'm using the Adobe CS6 Suite but from the research I've done over the past three hours, this issue has been prevalent over several versions. In the end, I had to disable the NVidia (333.11) nView Desktop Manager applet which I typically enable so as to leverage the Window Transparency feature. I'm not certain as to what option is causing the tried changing them all.
Here is a summary of the pertinent troubleshooting steps I followed in this journey:
Ensure that "AfterFX" and "Premiere" application shortcut exist in the following file system locations (I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit):
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS6\32
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\CS6
Reset Premiere Preferences (ALT + SHIFT)
Reset Media Encoder Preferences (CTRL + ALT + SHIFT)
Cleanup Media Encoder Caches
Cleanup non-present Mass Storage devices Device Manager (requires setting the system environment variable: DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES = 1

THIS IS IT!! This solves all of my problems with dynamic link between Pr, Ae, and AME. THANK YOU!
I too had nView enabled, and once I disabled it, dynamic link is working again. Not sure what it is doing, but it is definitely the source of this issue.

NVidia Desktop Manager problems

The NVidia Desktop Manager (the icon that's created in the system tray) is causing me some grief.
If I right click on it, the display will blank for a few seconds. This happens with the three different driver/util versions and doesn't happen with my AGP card installed.
Anyone else having this problem, and is there a way to fix it? No info found on NVIDIAs site or the newsgroups.
Cheers,

Nvidia nview problem

Hello all!
I am facing a problem with my graphics card. It all started when I decided I would like to watch my dvds on my tv screen. I have an nvidia graphics card.
$lspci
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
$
I am using fedora core 2 with kernel 2.6.5-1.358. I installed the drivers for linux from the official site of nvidia, namely the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run. Everything went well on the installation. I edited my xorg.conf file. If I nsert the following lines on the screen section
#Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
#Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G"
#Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
then when the box boots up everything is shown on my tv and not on my screen. What I would really like to do is configure the file so that I can have everything on both my display and the tv. I read about the nview. But do I have it? How do I check if I do? And if I do, how do I make the configuration so that I get what I want?
Besides thi, which is my major question I noticed something else. When I run the nvidia-settings program I see that the display device is A CTR-0. When I run the system-config-display program I see that the Monitor is L1711S Which is actually my monitor. I believe that the flat monitors are called LCD. So why this disagreement?
thanx to anyone that replies in advance

Better late than never
About cloning to different resolutions: it's normal that tv screen will be only a "visible" window to larger virtual one that is a clone of crt (that should be quite logical since it's a clone, right?).
So, you can't really have two different resolutions in tweenview mode (at least they are not useful). I suggest to not use it at all :-).

It should be pretty selfexplanatory. Why these settings are better than tweenview? Because they give you two separate screens with two "desktops" and two fullscreen but different resolutions. First screen (you can check with echo $DISPLAY) is :0.0 (crt - monitor philips in my case) and second is :0.1 (the tv). This also means that you can have different window/desktop managers on each screen (isn't that great?).
The rest depends on your window/desktop manager settings because some of them (with default settings) can use both screens (like kde, fvwm, windowmaker) and some (like xfce4) use only first one (:0.0 - the crt) leaving a second as a standard grey x window. So it's up to you how you want it. Everything should be possible. Personally I leave tv screen grey and use xfce4 (currently) on the crt. You don't need wm to start programs on the tv screen also. Check for your favourite program settings (manual) is should be possible to set display parameter like with mplayer/gmplayer it's:
gmplayer -display :0.1 -fs
or (IIRC)
DISPLAY=":0.1" gmplayer -fs
(this should work too).
It will start gmplayer on the tv in fullscreen mode. If you set it a nice theme (my favourite is OSX - Brushed) you don't need anything else. The bonus effect is that you can use your crt normally while you watch movies and gmplayer "open file" dialog will be opened on crt making it much easier to read and use. You can also set a nice wallpaper using some program like Esetroot or hsetroot etc.
I wrote this in a little hurry so sorry for the style :-)

No applications seen in desktop manager.

I was trying to upgrade my bbm, and used desktop manager, and noticed in the applications section I can't see any at all. The OS thats installed on my phone is also installed on my computer, and theres no other os's installed on my computer that would conflict. I also have version 6 of desktop manager and 5.0.0.438 installed on my 8330. I was wondering if anyone knew as to why i can't see any single application at all?
Edit : Also my phone isnt associated with an email on a BES. Infact it doesn't have email, i was able to see them before but for some reason i can't now?

Hi,
Yes it does seem odd.
Go into Device Manager and rescan the hardware. Use the Action TAB or right mouse click at the top of the device tree on your PC. Do you now see the adapter in Device Manager?
Boot into the bios (F10 setup) and make sure that the on board LAN adapter is enabled. Is it detected and enabled? It should be listed under Advanced.

NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller: Windows 7 driver?

I have a Fujitsu Siemens PC, Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A, running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit,
which I would like to update (preferably without reinstall) to Windows 7.
When I checked Fujitsu's website and also by mail contact, I only got the response
"Your system is not certified for Windows 7"!
So I ran "Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor", which said that I can upgrade!
The only issue is that it requires an update to the driver for the
"NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller" [current version is 5.1.2600.158],
but Microsoft directs me to THIS site.
Here I search for a suitable driver for my motherboard, which according the tech spec's is
MB MS-7504PV (or MS-7504VP-PV) with chipset NVIDIA nForce 630i,
but no luck there. The MSI Live Update Online plug-in does not find anything on my Mainboard.
Over at NVIDIA's site I can find a driver for nForce 630i but only paired with GeForce 7xxx,
and I don't think I need a complete motherboard driver package.
Where can I find the correct driver?
Or do I dare try a Windows 7 update anyway?
What can go wrong?
PC: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Desktop Pi 3630 A
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz
M-board: Fujitsu Siemens / MSI MB MS-7504PV, muATX, v1.1, Socket 775
Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 630i MCP73PV
BIOS: AMI v3.0S
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
LAN: nForce Realtek RTL8211
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

You do not have an MSI Retail Product but a mainboard produced exclusively for the OEM Market. Neither MSI nor this forum provides end-user support for OEM products. That is also why MSI Live Update does not find anything for this particular platform (OEM). You need to contact Fujitsu Siemens for assistance (and this include BIOS Updates and drivers).

Blackberry Desktop Manager consistently crashing

I've always avoided BDM like the plague (and by looking through the forums for a few minutesm it seems like I'm not the only one). Each time I have tried to run it, it would always launch several other processes, such as RIMDeviceManager, RIM.Desktop.AutoUpdate, RIM.DesktopHelper and a few others with it and use upwards of one and a half million KB of my memory. My computer would become laggy and I could navigate through it with a lot of patience but anytime I would try to backup/sync my BlackBerry, it would crash and I'd have to force quit each process.
Anyways, today I bought a new BlackBerry after owning my old one for two years and want to transfer my contacts. This sadly means I have to use this bloated piece of software. Is there anyway to get this program working so I can actually use it?

Can not install Desktop Manager because of DEP.

Good day BlackBerry users,
I've just got myself a BlackBerry Storm 1, and I'd like to install the desktop manager.
I've downloaded the install from the site and I tried to install it.
In the beginning it's going well, I start it, select my country... but then...
...When I've selected my country and I click next the install freezes and I get the DEP error.
I've looked around these forums, but I do not get any help.
Could someone please help me?
I'm pretty annoyed by this error.
I hope to get a useful answer.
Kind Regards,
Jurriën van Rooij.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately no, like with most software installations, information has to be written to certain parts of the computer, such as the registry, and you can't just use a USB flash drive to run your applications.
This error is a Microsoft Windows error and occurs when Windows detects code running from a protected location. At this point, Microsoft is your best bet for support as this is not a BlackBerry Desktop Manager error.

Desktop Manager 6.0 stopped working

For no apparent reason my DM version 6 stopped working yesterday. I have de- and re-installed it and rebooted with no improvement. When the application opens I see a partially loaded screen. Very limited text and drop down arrows that do nothing, no menu options. I do not get an error message. I'm using Windows 7 and nothing about my laptop has changed since the last time I used the DM, except for I installed SKYPE.
What can I do if a re-install did not take care of it?
Thanks,
Carolyn
