Apr 03, 2009 With Windows XP x86 and x64 the nView Desktop Manager is always available so I can set it for any specific application or function that I need. But on Windows Vista (which I quit using, what a waste of money ) and Windows 7 (which I am testing ) do not have the ability to set any of my programs the way I need them to react. They can span. Is the nView Desktop Manager supported in Windows Vista or Windows 7 for GeForce products? The nView Desktop Manager is only supported in Windows XP for GeForce products. It is not supported in Windows Vista or Windows 7 for GeForce but is supported for Quadro products.

I have updated my Nvidia Drivers and found that the NView Desktop Manager is missing. After some searching it seems that it is not included in the latest driver bundle.
Does anyone know where and how I can install the NView Desktop Manager?

For those running Windows 7 in order to officially have Nview you must be running a Quadro card. Linux printer drivers. Now this can be problematic and annoying for people running GeForce cards.
Nvidia's official response read something like this. (note not exact quote)
We (Nvidia) have made the decision to not include Nview in the installation of Drivers for our GeForce cards. This decision was made because mainly businesses use the Nview package and most businesses don't buy GeForce cards they buy Quadro cards.
Nvidia also stated:
The Nview software package had to be completely rebuilt before it could be released for windows 7 users.
The package should work perfectly fine, it's just that they chose to install it only if you have a Quadro card, or know how to bypass Nvidia's installer package. :D
I found this posted on the net in fairly identical layouts on multiple forums. :) No guarantees that this works but it looks okay to me. Will be testing it myself soon:
Note: some features are missing from the application, but most of the important features do work.

According to NView desktop manager missing?,

nView desktop manager is not available in Windows Vista. It is not possible to download nView desktop manager because it is not supported with Vista and Windows 7.
This change is operating system specific as nView desktop manager cannot work in Windows Vista or Windows 7. The latest operating system does not support nView desktop manager.
Nvidia support team gave a free alternative to nView desktop manager: Display fusion.
Another article Nvidia Nview Deskop Manager (For Nvidia Graphics Card Users) may hopefully apply to your case (if you're using XP):
For those users which have Nvidia Graphics Card, can have multiple options like more deskops, Nview properties,zooming,different effects while dragging and dropping windows and many more. The nView features are by default disable you need to enable them.
Go to Control Panel,open Nvidia Nview Deskop Manager. Click on enable.
