I am having trouble with the extended desktop function on this video card
which supports dual monitors. I see the same image in both monitors.I would
like to stretch the desktop over both of the monitors.
Thank you for all your help.

regards,

Leo

This is usually an option in the graphics driver user interface, and
would go under a name such as "Extetnded Desktop".

However, if you right-click on your desktop and select Properties >
Settings, you should have the means of selecting "extend this
monitor...", assuming your hardware supports this feature. My feeling,
though, is that it is better to control these things through the
graphics driver, which you should be able to invoke using the ADVANCED
button on the SETTINGS screen.

Thx for your help. But it does not show an extra monitor.

OK. What do you see when you go to Display > Properties > Advanced? Can
you provide a of list the tabs that are present?

It's easy to make a decision when there are no options.

Under Display Properties > Settings, use the "Extend my Windows
desktop onto this monitor." options when the second monitor is
selected.
