    Can't get dual screens setup.


    Bad start to Anniversary update - messed up my dual screen setup.
    I used to have my two screens setup so I could run different programs on them. Now I can only have the same thing on both. No point in having two screens. Settings allows me to set same on both or only on 1 (or 2). In practice whatever I set defaults to same on both.

    I have a nVidia Quatro video card.

    Any suggestions?

    :)

    Help Getting Dual Screen Setup

    I am wanting to set up my second monitor on my gaming Computer! I have a HP Pavilion Power Desktop 580-023w. I have multiple ports to give me the dual screen and even three screens if I please. When I go into my display settings, it does not give me the
    option like the tutorials I have seen online! It only gives me the connect to a wireless display option! I;m really confused with why it is doing this. I have updated my computer and even all of my drivers! I need to know what to do please if anyone can help!

    What happens when you press Windows key + P?

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Expand Display adapters

    Right click the current display adapter

    Click Properties

    Click Driver tab

    Click Rollback driver if the option is available

    If not

    Right click the current display adapter

    Click Uninstall

    Check the box that says, "Delete the driver software for this device.”

    Exit Device Manager

    Restart

    Go to Start -> Settings -> Update & security, then Check for updates and install any available updates.

    Try again.

    Can't get dual screens setup.

    sounds like youre copying the monitors instead of expanding (via win+p) ? other than that, no idea than suggesting to unplug and replug the monitors in wanted order.

    You're right. Silly of me. However, I don't recall the previous version using the word "expand". Wasn't there an option to make the two screens into a sort of wide cinemascope screen?

    Could be my memory chips failing - very likely at my age.

    Thanks.

    yeah you can do it, depending on your GPU and drivers. its called "surround" at some cases (nvidia atleast). cant remember how it goes on radeons, eyeinfinity?

    The NVidia Surround can only be done from the NVidia Control Panel. You need identical screen resolutions on the monitors for it to work. If I turn it on I lose my main center display. It's a 22 in 1080P. My other two monitors are 1280 x 1024. In Windows its *Start + P and select Extend for multi monitor, not duplicated. It's what I use on triple monitor setup.
