Hi,
I had two monitors on my PC. One LG E2251 on my Gigabyte GTX670 via DVI and onther Acer AL1711 on the VGA output of the motherboard (AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 with a 3570k)
On windows 7 this worked fine. The LG had my taskbar and was on full HD, the second monitor was to the left at 1280x1024.
Now I upgraded to windows8.1 pro and I can't get the extended desktop going. Both screens work, they show different desktops, but both have the taskbar. The weirdest is that in windows 'screen resolution' I can see both monitors, but the Nvidia control panel does not detect it. (which it did in windows 7)
I've added a screenshot, The IE window is fullscreen on the second monitor.

I'm I trying something impossible? Or what could be wrong? Both the intel and nvidia drivers are up to date.
