Win7 - Switching Display Devices with keyboard shortcuts?

[andyxoxo]

Greetings, hope one of you home theater experts can help me out with my question

I just switched operating systems from XP to Win7 on my laptop which has an Nvidia 8600M-GS video card. With Nvidia XP drivers for my video card I was able to activate nView and so was able to set up hotkeys for switching between display devices (so to be able to use my external monitor & projector very easily by just pressing a few buttons on my keyboard).

Now with Win7, drivers for my same Nvidia video card do not support nView anymore (no idea why) so I have to use the laptop's function keys to switch between the display devices. My question is: Is there a 3rd party application that supports using keyboard shortcuts to switch between display devices (cuz using my laptop's Fn + F3 keys are inconvenient due to its location) instead of the Fn key? I have tried UltraMon but its scripts didn't work for me unless I was doing something wrong which I don't think I was...

Pressing Windows Key + P doesn't work for me cuz I have two external displays hooked up to my laptop. An external 20" LCD monitor via the VGA port and a projector via the HDMI port. Using the Windows key + P only switches on/off my external monitor on the VGA port. It does not allow me to switch to my projector via the HDMI port...

So basically I'm looking for some sort of software that will allow me to use keyboard shortcuts to cycle through all three of my displays one after the other just like Nvidia's nView allowed us to do with XP.

Possible? Thank you...

Thanks for any help/guidance

Ok, I've been moved. Took me a while to find my own post hehe.

So anyone have any ideas? Is there is no software that allows me to control which display devices i can use from a laptop by using hotkeys from a keyboard? I think there would be a market for this...

That sort of thing is usually provided by the video driver. Are you sure you can't do it through the nVidia control panel, or whatever they call their app?

nView come with nvidia drivers
just install drivers from nvidia by selecting video card model.

EDIT: just find it that Nvidia removed nview from vista and W7
but you can install by: download NVIDIA DRIVERS 195.62
from install file extract nView.cab file with Winrar
extract all files nView.cab to folder
find and run nViewSetup.exe
probably not all function of nView working

Ya, that was a good idea and I tried it out. Unfortunately the hotkey functions didn't work otherwise your solution would have been as good as gold. Am now working the developer of UltraMon to sort out my problem. Thanks for your help though
