hey im trying to get my pc into 'dualview'

i dont know much techno lingo but ill try

on the back of my tower theres 2 places for you to connect monitors (blue port things) one is where it always is on all pcs and ones near the bottom i think graphics card of AVG. i've always plugged monitor into the bottom one as the top one doesn't work

now i have two monitors im trying to get it into dual view but like im not sure how i turn the top pc monitor port on? because its never worked even if i only have on monitor and its in there. if that makes sense

my display adapter is NVIDIA GeForce SE/7200 GS if that helps

**edit sorry this should be in computing and networks. my bad**

Try enabling the "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" checkbox in the Display properties ( right clcik on desktop)
Then the Identify button should confim if its working or not
Drag the monitors around to match your physical layout
thats how it works with my laptop and its docking station + monitor

I take it both VGA's are not on the graphics card (ie. side by side, obviously on the same card)?

If one is up the top, it'll be your onboard graphics, and the one lower down will be on a separate graphics card.

If it's the latter, the onboard slot will probably be disabled. *Some* motherboards will allow you to run both onboard and a separate graphics card together, other don't.

You'd need to find out what motherboard you're using and probably alter a setting in the BIOS if it allows it.

If it's a dual output card (it doesn't sound like it) then you should be able to do it through the desktop or the control panel for you graphics card.

As above, unless both ports are on the graphics card, you won't be able to do it as the onboard graphics and the graphics card will likely conflict with each other.

I have both a standard monitor port and a DVI port on my graphics card for example, and have a dual set up (one widescreen and one standard screen) and it's great, especially for online gaming - game on the widescreen and webbrowser etc on the standard
