Dual Monitor Problem
I have two computers running WinXP.
I have two LCD monitors: a 19" Dell and a 17" Sharp. Machine 1 has a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT graphic card that controls both monitors. The Dell is the primary monitor and then extended to the Sharp. Machine 2 is connected with Machine 1 with a two-port KVM Switch. The result is that when on Machine 1 I have dual monitors. When I switch to Machine 2, the Dell continues to show what was there while the Sharp switches to the desktop of Machine 2. This has been working for the last 5-6 months. The other day, I did something (unintentionally). Now when switched to machine 1, I have the correct displays on both monitors, except the Sharp now has a predominately blue cast. I can see blues and yellows but no apparent reds. If I switch the primary and secondary monitor, I have the same conditions. If I switch to Machine 2, the monitor displays just fine. So I apparently changed something on Machine 1. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?? TIA. Joe |

Anyways my first check would be the cabling. Your setup is indicating that you have different video cable for each machine so I would look and see if maybe one of the cables for Machine 1 went bad. The other possibility is that you changed your color settings for your Nvidia graphics adapter. I would check the Nvidia Control Panel and see if maybe you have turned the reds all the way down. -- Robert Pendell "A perfect world is one of chaos." Thawte Web of Trust Notary CAcert Assurer |
