3D Vision disables other monitor and doesn't let me switch to 120Hz again?
Just today I got the 3D Vision glasses and transmitter, and installed the drivers for them.
I, however, don't want to play all games in 3D, such as Quake Live, and would prefer to use 120Hz refresh rate at those. I tried to change the refresh rate from the nVidia Control Panel, but the option is locked at 60Hz, even though 3D Vision is disabled.
On top of that, I cannot get my PC to detect my second monitor anymore (which is attached to the same GTX 480 as the main monitor is) - that monitor is not 120Hz. It worked flawlessly before installing the 3D Vision drivers.

So is there a way to temporarily disable 3D Vision and unlock the other monitor and 120Hz for my main monitor?
Preferably without uninstalling 3D Vision.

3D vision shouldn't be doing that, doesn't affect selectable refresh rates, or additional monitors.
Do you have the right drivers enabled for th monitors?

Yeah, I should have the right drivers installed. I could try installing the drivers again, and see if that makes a difference.

[b]EDIT:[/b] Ah yes, reinstalling the drivers helped. Thanks for your support!
