| 1172365 | 2011-01-25 03:44:00 | Greetings everybody, We have googled this without success. Our site uses dual screen monitors, a staff member has a problem with their monitors. The monitors where the image is shown appears in the two halves of the screen. IOW The logoff dialogue is shown on the two monitors one half on one monitor one half on the other. We are using the resolution 1024 x 768 for each monitor. Each monitor is identical The cable are DVI on the graphics card to two VGA plugs connect to the monitors also via VGA. It has worked at a previous location but has not worked since the move. I am also uncertain if the cables are original? The system uses Windows XP and when setting up Windows reports the monitor is disabled we enable both monitors set the resolution to 1024x768 when a second resolution entry in the screen doubles this rate. Any thoughts? :badpc: |

| 1172368 | 2011-01-25 20:56:00 | If you use an Nvidia based card go into the nvidia control panel (right click desktop should have it in drop down) and under setup multiple displays choose "configured independantly from each other (Dualview)" For ATI/AMD I dont know but it should have the option somewhere. |

| 1172369 | 2011-01-25 22:28:00 | Depends on the sort of spanning you're using, this is an intended feature of straight horizontal spanning - windows sees the two monitors, at 1024x768 each, as a single display of 2048x768 | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1172370 | 2011-01-25 22:48:00 | Yeah I think inphinity is on the right track. Try swapping between the Windows desktop spanning setup and your graphics card spanning setup to see if that resolves it :) |
