393229 2005-10-04 02:24:00 my geforce 6600 supports dual monitors and has a dvi and a vga output. i bought a vga splitter to try to get extended desktop, but all i can get is a clone of my desktop. the option for extended desktop is flat out missing from my nview desktop manager. my drivers and software are all up to date from nvidia. do i need to get a dvi to vga converter and have both monitors get recognized by my video card? thanks for the help. dlizard901 (9012)
393230 2005-10-04 02:28:00 To have dual screens, plug one monitor into one output, and the second one into the other (IE an LCD in the DVI, and CRT in VGA, or 2 LCDs- one in each).

If yuo want to have 2 CRTs, then yes, you will need to buy a converter to convert the DVI into VGA. Then plug one screen into each of the VGA ports
