I have a strange problem
i am using windows 7 HP x64 and a few days ago my dual monitors were working perfectly
i was able to extend my desktop across the two... then out of the blue the extend option stopped working. i can duplicate and projector only and the second monitor works but when i extend the desktop the second monitor just goes blank and the power led goes orange....

This is what the screen resolution window looks like

any thoughts on what is going on

I see you're using the motherboard's integrated GPU in your system specs.
Is it possible that you downloaded a driver update from windows?
