Can't extend desktop.

[Guest Tom]

Recently I just finished a build with XP Pro. The graphics card is the XFX

Nvidia 8600GTS with 512MB memory and 2 x DVI outputs.

 

However, I can't extend my desktop to the second monitor. I have two

monitors plugged in yet windows is only detecting the one output. On my

laptop it shows 2 black squares with 1 and 2 representing the two monitors,

here I only have a picture showing a monitor with the desktop blue background.

 

Why is it not finding the other output?

 

The drivers are the latest ones from the Nvidia website?

 

 

Thanks!

Control Panel ( Classic View ), nVidia Control Panel, ( Advanced ). When

the applet opens choose the "Display" category, "Set up Multiple Displays".
