dual monitor problems

[dugen]

Hi,

I have a dell xps 600 with a nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX video card and am trying to hook up dual monitors. When the computer is first started both monitors show the boot up process, but when windows starts and the log on screen pops up only one of the monitors shows anything.

When I go to the display properties there is only one monitor showing.

I am running windows media center.

Does anyone know how I can get both monitors working? Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks

Did you try detecting the 2nd monitor with Nview?

Hi,
CNET.com has an excellent "Weekend Project" video tutorial on how to set it up.

See step #6 where it explains how to enable the 2nd monitor in the Display - Settings tab.

Good luck!!!
