I'll put basic specs of both computers down below!

I'm following Twitch's guide for a 2 PC streaming setup (this one here) and I'm stumbling at the first hurdle which is getting monitor 1 to duplicate onto monitor 3.

Gaming computer connects to capture card in streaming PC via hdmi
Gaming computer has two monitors connected via DVI
Streaming computer has one monitor connected via VGA through a VGA to DVI adaptor

When I attempt to detect the 3rd monitor it says that it is not detected and that I can try to connect anyway through VGA, When I try that it detects a 3rd monitor but won't allow me to save any display settings involving monitor 3.

At first I thought it may have been the monitor on the streaming build as its an old IBM T55A! I borrowed a friends monitor, much newer, using a DVI connection and still no luck! Both desktops are running the latest versions of Windows 10, the capture cards drivers and firmware are completely up to date, GPU drivers on both computers are also up to date!

Any ideas guys?
This is my first attempt at 2 PC Streaming so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious!

Gaming PC Specs:
GPU - 2 x GTX 970 SLI
CPU - AMD FX8350
RAM - 16GB DDR3

Streaming PC Specs:
GPU - GTX 650 Ti
CPU - AMD FX8350
RAM - 8GB DDR3
Capture Card - AverMedia Live Gamer HD Lite

It's not detecting the input from the capture card! The computer recognises the capture card and the software recognises the capture card but if I were to open up RECentral and look through the streaming wizard it doesn't detect an hdmi signal at all.

I'm assuming it is as in the Windows 10 display settings on my gaming PC, monitors 1 and 2 are my gaming PC's monitors! Monitor 3 is the only other one that shows and the only connection between the two computers is an HDMI cable going from the primary GTX 970 to the Capture Card!

That is the next step that I was considering to be honest! Will try to get my hands on one at some point soon!
