Rocold Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Right click on the desktop and go to properties. Then in the Display properties click on the settings tab. Click the 2nd monitor that one is probably set up to be your tv. There should be a check box at the bottom that says Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor.Uncheck that. It should show the same image on both screens now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 First question should have been: "ATI or nVidia?" They both have there own way of doing things, of course nVidias way is better. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 You need to tell the drivers you want to use cloning. It's some where in the nVidia configuration thing. It's fairly obviuse, just look around for it :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Didn't look very hard did you? ;) It's the first menu of the nVidia drivers menu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
