Hi Dual Clone and Welcome,

Could you please fill in your system specs on your forum profile so we know what we're working with?

Importantly:

• what make/model is your graphics card?
• Does it support two screens?
• Have you loaded the graphics card software and drivers that came with it?
• Can you see two screens in display settings (Control Panel | Display | Screen
  Resolution)?
• If you see 2 screens are both enabled?
  
• Did your new monitor come with an install disk?

I'm sure we'll be able to help you further, hang in there and get back to me.

Hi There , And thx Will upload it now

what make/model is your graphics card? - 250 gtx nvidia
Does it support two screens? - yes it has 2 of those adaptors at the back
Have you loaded the graphics card software and drivers that came with it? - i have installed the stuff that was on the CD
Can you see two screens in display settings (Control Panel | Display | Screen
Resolution)?- Yes i can
The screen im using is a TV SCREen

Ok so while i was waiting for an reply i was playing around if i change an certan setting the items disappear , so it looks like it moves to the other screen , but my other screen stays blue

Two other thoughts based on the new info:

Your monitor may have a swtich on the front to change from VGA to HD, have a look for that and press it. It also might be in the monitor configuration menu, or accessed via an AUTO button.

For testing purposes, lower your screen resolution to the monitors native resolution. This should be written somewhere in it's documentation.

Also open the Nvida control panel and use it to configure your two monitors, it will be a lot easier. You can usually find this in windows control panel. Good luck. I'll wait to see how you go.

EDIT: Mine is a much older card, but your set up (in the NVIDIA control panel) should like something like this screen. Try to swap them around like I have as well (i.e. 2,1 as apposed to 1,2).

Hi, i have tried all mention above, but nothing works , i dunno why its very weird .

Hmm... I need to take a closer look then

Could you please upload a screen print of the nvidia control panel and the windows display settings (the same two that I posted). Also please let me know the resolution and refresh rate for each display.




EDIT: Lastly double check those cables and make sure they are in nice and solid.

WIll do!

Ok i was taking the photo and i posted it into my Paint.net This is how it looked! The PIC01 Clearly shows that it was expaned

A couple of things,

1. Make sure that the resolution for the 17" isn't set any higher than it can support. Can't help with that as the only thing I can find for that TV is this,

LCD - *#*WEEKEND SPECIAL*#* 17" (43cm) SANSUI LCD TV - VERY GOOD CONDITION!!! was sold for R950.00 on 15 Nov at 20:04 by drewzah in Pretoria / Tshwane (ID:17135551)

and a link back to this thread.

2. How is it connected to the video card?
