271240 2004-09-11 08:24:00 I have got 2x AOC 17' screens connected to my pc and when I watch a DVD it would be good to stetch it across both screens, when I try one screen goes black, and the other still has the picture.

Does anyone know some software that will let me do that?
Thanks

There's TVtool, but it isnt free. I dont know whats missing if it isnt registered. Have u got 2 separate videocards? Or one with video out??

I had assumed he was just running dual screens - ie not using tv/video out port, but two monitor ports (perhaps DVI & VGA or dual DVI or dual VGA)
