Thanks for the replies so far. To add to the thread - I am getting both screens working at boot up. In bios especially, both screens are duplicating displays and in post boot both screens are working. I am using onboard graphics card, I will update the drivers and directx, but what refresh rate should I have set?
In my graphics card utiltiy, the system will detect two monitors either.
If you go to the on screen setup menu for the monitor, it usually says. Otherwise it is normally something like 60Hz.
Dumb question, so please excuse it, but you haven't got one screen plugged into a dedicated graphics card, and the other plugged into a dead port you get sometimes on computer motherboards....
Like here, I have drawn two arrows. If you have a dedicated GPU (similar to the slot with the adapters that the
bottom arrow points to), then the chance is that the top port wont work...
Just thought I would check... What happens if you lower the resolution to something like 600x480 or 800x600 on both screens?
