Dual Monitors Question at DVinfo.net

Matt Williams · May 29th, 2008, 07:32 PM

I am having a real problem with my dual monitors. I got them to work but they are showing the same thing on both of them? I have a Radeon 9200 with one analog and one digital. I have read on other sites that all you have to do is go to settings and click on the monitor tab ect. Problem is there is no tab? I go to properties and I see the Radeon 9200 dual monitors but no tab? I am at a wall help please!

In the monitor properties in Windows, there should be a setting to make both screens the same (which you have set now) or stretch the display across both screens (what you're wanting to do).

I can right-click a blank area of the desktop, choose "Properties" and it opens the Windows display properties. From there I would go to the "Settings" tab and you can change the monitor settings there.

This is my problem there is no way to change it there. I understand what your saying but when I click on "settings" all I get is (Multiple Monitors) on Radeon 9200 with no "Display" drop down list box with multiple monitors listed, one for each monitor in the gray area above tab! HELP!!!

Sounds like you need to check with the video card vendor.

Try reinstalling the Radeon drivers. Sounds like they are corrupted or missing.
