Forums -> Multiple monitors -> extending desktop on 2 monitors
rikki   2011-02-22 18:42
I have attached two monitors to my Dell PC and the same picture appears on both. I am looking to extend the desktop to both. Looking on the internet when I go under display only one monitor is shown and I have been told this means my computer doesn't support this. Is there any way of using two monitors in the way I want to?

Thanks

Also check the software for your video card, there might be a setting there for extending the desktop to both monitors.

Exactly how did you connect the 2 monitors, and which exact model is the computer?

I installed a video card Radeon HD 4350 which had two ports for the monitors. Then attached a monitor to each port (HDMI connection)
Computer is Dell Vostro 200
running windows xp.
thanks

Sounds like a setting in the Radeon driver. Did you check all the settings? What Radeon driver version are you using? Did you try the latest driver from AMD?

Also, what brand and model is the card?
