Graphics card EVGA GeForce 6600 GT with 2 RGB sockets each one connected to a monitor. Both monitors work but, both show the same things & cannot split them so that I can drag things from #1 into No.2 as I used to before I messed up.
I must have done something to change the screen resolution or the "Display" in control panel, which used to show both screens & options what to do with them.
pls. see photo
Also I used to have an "Invidia" item when I right clicked on the desktop which opened an Invidia control panel with options to manage the 2 screens. How can I reinstall that?
CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 95W 2.4GHz, OCZ Vendetta Cpu Cooler, 2x2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 800 (400mhz) PC2-6400, EVGA GeForce 6600 GTX, Excelsior sata 500gb, Corsair TX750M Psu, X45, Win8.1 64
all these troubles happened when I tried on a "GeForce GTX750 Ti" & loaded its drivers. It could not connect my old LG monitor because the modern DVIcables have no small pins above & below the spade to fit in the RGB/DVI adaptor, even did not work using the LG's HTMI.
Does it mean that I'll never be able to upgrade the V. Card with my present System?
Sorry, VGA it is.
Monitors LG Flatron M198WDPflat screen 10"x20" & DELL 20"
I ordred on ebay today this used 9800 card below which is what I had for a few years before it went belly-up (except it had 1 VDI & 1 VGA & was 512 MB) . That one found both monitors but what worries me is when I download its drivers will I loose again the Nvidia Control Panel as it happened with the VD card I tried?
If it does get lost how do I get it back, because I do not think it will work with the 309.08 driver of the 6600 that reinstalled the lost Nvidia Control Panel. ...........thanx .....nick
EDIT: just tried for a driver in NVIDIA but they do not specify 9800 gt.
Installed the 9800 V.Card, downloaded & installed the 342.1 driver but, unfortunately am back to square one, lost the Nvidia Control Panel again. .........nick
3. choose this for 64 bit:- "2: Hosted by Nvidia.com" & SAVE IT where you want to.
4. where you saved it look for this:- " 258.96_desktop_win7_ Vista_64bit..........."
and double click it.
5.You get this " C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\258.96\WinVista_Win7_64\English " and click OK.
Note: I don't remember if PC is restarted.
Presto, if you right ckick on desktop in the options is "NVIDIA control panel", click it and you have all the functions. I got both my screens back, but not shure yet if this 9800 1GB is any better than the old 512mb 6600.
