Lels Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I got a buddy who is trying to span his display across both of his 22" monitors on windows 7 RC, and we can't figure it out for anything! He has two Geforce 8600 GT's in his machine. Is this possible with the card he has, or even possible in windows 7? If so, could anyone help us out? Thanks in advance!

Access Denied Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 right click the desktop, click Personalize, under see also in the bottom left corner, click Display, top left click Change Display Settings. There you should be able to click on extend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJohnSmitherson Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I got an 1 8800GT with XP. You should really look in the Nvidia Control Panel. Right click on desktop and you should see the choice. I run 2 monitors on my one card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaelmason Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Windows 7 reconized both of my displays. Laptop (Nvida 6100 go) @ 1440 x 900 and CRT @ 960x1280. Rotated one display with the Nvida software. The only issue I'm having is the CRT flickers off and then back on whenever I use any program.

Omen1393 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I connect to my laptop to my TV using an S-video cord so I can watch instant Netflix videos but on Windows 7 RC it won't let me extend or duplicate my monitor to it. On Windows 7 beta (7000) it let me extend my the displays to the TV but it didn't let me duplicate the display. On vista it lets me duplicate the display but not extend it and on Windows 7 RC I can't do either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlintyV Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Works fine on an 8800.. You could try Win + P shortcut and try Extend... works for me and extends my desktop. There is also the Nvidia control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen1393 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah, extending used to work in the windows 7 beta, but i'll try to use the ATI control panel this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I haven't had any issue extending/mirroring displays. Video driver perhaps? My gripes are still the wallpaper handling and lack of a way to extend the taskbar across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen1393 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I just installed the new ATI drivers and the control center and now I can duplicate and extend the screen, works like a charm now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
