there is a possibility to permanently disable the second monitor output on nvidia video cards, 4mx, 580xgl or fx series in Windows Me or to edit the bios?
I have problems with Midtown Madness 1 that tries to detect the video card every time I play it.
Need to know which exact vid card currently and what driver version. Never heard of a 1999 game needing to detect a Vid card on Win9x+ system.
By default if no monitor is connected to the second port then there should not be an issue unless you played and set up a second monitor at some point in the past AFAIK on that same OS.

This is the problem with Midtown Madness 1 and redetect video every time I start the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWXVt9vDCsY
The problem is present with any Nvidia video card and driver version.
Another question is if I can disable the second monitor, permanently. This is the cause of the problem. I tried from device manager, but no success.
You can modify something in the game with a hex editor, driver or windows?
Up!
You need to disable the secondary video controller instead of monitor.

it doesn't work, the cause is from the nvidia video card. I tried a combo of 3dfx with an ATI video card and I have no problem but ATI video card is not good for some games.
delete default monitor ?

So there isn't two nvidia devices in "display adapters" in device manager, just one single nvidia device ?

it looks like you have two monitors plugged in?
I'm seeing the same thing, curious if it's normal or some kind of error. Deets below.
FX 5950
NV 45.23 - hacked in 5950 and 5500
NVTweak installed
In the device manager I see one adapter and two monitors, Syncmaster and Default Monitor. I assume it's for running dual monitors with the unused video port but not really sure.
IIRC if your card does not have dual monitor connectors it should not be enabling a second monitor capability. My FX-7800 does have dual monitor connectors and enables dual view in Win98 but my MX200 has one and there is not Dual view/nView.
Maybe as mentioned it is driver embedded on later driver versions ???

I have only one monitor, with all Nvidia cards, the monitor that is not connected also appears and it causes many problems with old games
I have never had a game complain like in your situation. Maybe it is something with Midtown Madness or maybe if you are running a cracked version of the game it is not saving the video settings you set as it should.
Maybe something in these can help:

Hello, I tried with an dummy vga adapter in clone mode, but the game does not support cloning mode.
Midtown Mandess 1 support only dual view mode, but in windows 9x dual view mode doesn't not support OpenGl mode 🙁 In dual mode view the Midtown Mandess 1 it works perfectly but but if you open other games in OpenGl, it destroys your settings.

I also tried with a geforce ti 4200, the same problem
