I have 2 monitors but different types of monitors, both work fine as "Duplicate these displays" or with eyefinity but i cant make either one of them as a primary desktop or desktop on 1 or 2 display without the other monitor going black or into sleep mode like it is not detecting the other monitor.

I have a AMD radeon 6900 series video card and my monitors are connected to the DVI port (top left looking horizontally) and HDMI port.

Thanks for your help.

WOW, toubleshooting this for a while and it was a simple fix. All i had to do was go into the screen resolution and click extend these displays.

Sorry for wasting your time but i hope this helps someone else.
