Multiple monitors problem
Everyone,
In my office, I have one XP machine that is shared by two people i.e. there is one desktop, and two sets of monitors, keyboards, etc. Both individuals see the same screen on their individual monitors when any one person logs on. Someone in our office was playing around with the display settings and changed the original setting. Now, the monitors are on the standard split display i.e. now one screen is the primary and the other secondary. I have tried multiple things to fix this including making only one monitor the primary, changing the display to multiple monitors, resetting the cables and restarting the machine. However, nothing has worked. If anyone has any experience with something similar, I'd appreciate any help that you can provide. Thank you, AH_VA |

Thank you, AH_VA Depending on the type of video card, you need to set up the "displays" in "clone" mode instead of "stretching" the desktop over the two displays |

a vga splitter /adaptor cable in the future. the device will physically provide the same desktop to two monitors. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - @Hotmail.com "share the nirvana mann" - dbZen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "AH_VA" wrote in message ...
