dual monitor setup problems

[platinum87]

im setting up my 2 X 24inch, and only 1 is detected on the control panel (both windows display properties and nvidia control panel)..

i want an extended desktop, (not span) and thats the only thing it lets me do.

i downloaded ultramon, and it says only 1 monitor detected.

any help!

to be clear they both work, just it acts like 1 huge monitor which i dont want..


thanks in advance

i solved the prob after 2nd restart..

in nvidia there was no option for dualview, but now there is, and also shows up on windows display, and ultra mon works ..

Heard of that a couple of times, seem to recall that reinstalling the graphics card drivers solved this for some people, worth a shot I reckon

http://www.mandolux.com/ click archive, its called rack in 2008 section.

+ i will reinstall old drivers, (mabye its beta 169.44) going to 21 i think it was

Edit, got colour back now by going back to 169.21, still a few glitches in WMP :S

so what i did, is set a aspect ratio of 32:10 in VLC, and used nview's span FYI. shooter is the only film which has really wide resolution, i think mabye 2:1 so its pretty stretched but i think its watchable
