ianhaney Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Thank you for the reply it's a Nvidia I think I have done it now but the desktop icons are not extending to the second screen I got the first one set as the main display and on the second one is just the wallpaper background with the taskbar I thought if the desktop is set to extend these displays that the desktop folder etc would carry over to the second screen I can move the mouse between the two screens and move google chrome over as well as other software Ian Edited January 26, 2013 by ianhaney Quote
maynardvdm Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 That is the way it is supposed to be. You can drag icons across if you want. Quote We are all members helping other members.
