I've just bought a new monitor so that I have more desktop space for
photo editing etc. My original monitor is a CTX PR710T and my new one
an LG L1715S. Neither have DVI connectors so I bought a converter too.
My PC has XP Pro on it and was working fine with the CTX screen. I
added the LG on the DVI connector and after dropping the refresh rate to
75Hz got a picture on both displays.
BUT its the same picture on both. I've gone to display
properties|settings | advanced but only one monitor (the LG) shows up so
I can't choose how the monitors are set out. I've tried rebooting and
swapping the monitors to the other connector but still get no second
monitor in Windows. I've installed the latest Nvidia drivers and
strangley the Nvidia software shows a single monitor but its the CTX
one! Display properties still shows the LG monitor. I've tried "adding
hardware" through control panel but there is no option for another
display, only for display adaptors.
Any ideas what I should try next?
Thanks
