   Dual Monitor set up
  Ok I have done this a million times, but I can never remember how to do it right.  I want the primary monitor to display the desktop etc, and then the second one just to be a monitor I can drag things into.  I have 4 optionsSingle displayCloneHorizontalVerticalHorizontal is what I want but that just turns the monitor into one huge monitor, I do want them to remain spperate.  I just cant remember how to do it.Any suggestions?   
  Right click desktop, select properties, select Settings, click on box for Monitor #2, check "extend desktop onto this monitor." Click OK. That should do it.   ;  Mmm. Can't wait until my new laptop comes so I can finally get decent dual screen going again.   ;  Apoch unfortunitly it is not giving me that option.  The only options I get are under the nvidia display settings and they are the ones mentioned above.  Any suggestions?  I have never had this issue.   ;  What do you mean, "it" isn't giving you "that option"? What specifically of the steps I gave is not working as described? And why are you in the nVidia display settings and not the Windows display settings?   ;  There should be a fifth option: DualView.   ;  Under the normal Display Properties window, click on the settings tab. Don't go into advanced settings. You should see two monitors appearing in the window. If you click on the second one and tick "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor", you should get the behaviour you want. If a second monitor isn't listed in that window try going into the nvidia control center, enter the Tools menu, and tick the "Force TV Detection" box, and see if that does anything.I think I've had problems with nVidia drivers before, and their "hiding" secondary output devices, but I can't really remember what I did to fix it.
