Dual Display

[ilyar]

have a Nvidia Quadro FX 540 graphics card with dual displays. Cant get the second monitor to work. Nvidia settings only give me an option for single or clone monitors. also when i right click on desktop and the go to settings and properties. it doesnt give me a drop down menu to choose from the two monitors. Thanks for the help

Surely you can just do it in Windows, circumventing any need for the nV software in this area.

Ok so when you're in Display Properties, do 2 monitors show up? They should be numbered 1 and 2.

To span the desktop onto monitor 2, select the rectangle w/ the 2 inside of it and check the box "Extend my Windows..."

Also you may have to reset to get the monitors to be recognized correctly by the card. I think I had that problem once but after a reboot I could choose the DualView.
