Problems with dual monitors (like everyone else)

[Chaostracize]

I had my computer set up for all of May and everything was fine.

Took everything down and put it all away for two months and now that I've hooked everything back up, the left screen is dark, and after I booted up the computer I got a little note from Windows saying that my Ultramon trial has expired.

Are these related?

I just can't remember what I did to get this to work.

for ultramon, just uninstall it (you also may have to restart your computer, i'm not sure) then go and download/reinstall it.

to set up your 2nd monitor, go to control panel, appearance and themes, display, settings, click on the pic of the number 2 monitor, click box that says "extend windows desktop onto this monitor", click OK. hope that helps.

I am thinking of getting a dual monitor set up. Where is the dual monitor faq?

I think it was "released" or "un-stickied (is that a word?)"

Go to the FAQ in the Internet Gambling Forum, and scroll to the bottom.

Can my current PC support dual monitor? It is only a couple of months old. I run belarc advisor and get:

Display

RADEON X300 Series [Display adapter]
RADEON X300 Series Secondary [Display adapter]
Default Monitor

Monitor FAQ, Question #2 (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2372874&page=0&view=expan ded&sb=5&o=2&fpart=1)

But most likely yes.
