Hi everyone,

I currently have have the following configuration (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17604288/Setup.jpg)

Both monitors can be detected but for some reason I can't get them to show separate things (ie. they are just a clone of one another).

The setup I want to achieve is to have a display that extends across both monitors. Tried using the Display function to extend, but it just extends across the monitor and the laptop. (ie. both monitor 1 and monitor 2 shows exactly the same thing, while the other screen that is being extended into is the laptop).

I have tried to update my Nvidia and Intel drivers already but to no avail. I am on Windows 10.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

You could try updating your docking station firmware. That may help.

Sounds like you have the lid up on your laptop. Close it so you don't see the laptop screen. Power up your laptop using your docks power button and see if both displays show up and then see if they extend after that. Just sounds like you are trying to run 3displays when your dock only supports 2.
