I finally woke up to set up my new monitor from Black Friday (the Westinghouse 22" for $200 at BB) and decided to just make a dual display with my old monitor (Samsung 19" also from last year's Black Friday). So I got everything going okay on the Westinghouse, but I can't get the other display to get the picture on there. I have a SLI setup with two 7900gts running on WinXP Pro with sp2 if that helps. Here is also a screenshot of how my Settings page looks like (it has 3 monitors instead of 2... eh?).

Thanks for any help!
 
Select the monitor from the drop down box or just click on the icon for the monitor (2 or 3) and set the checkbox to "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" and hit apply. Adjust the screen resolution and color quality if needed.
 
I got it working. Apparently SLI can't be run with dual monitors or something. So i just disable it and then run both monitors at the same time. Sounds stupid, but it does work. =O
 
Yeah, that is, in fact, the case. SLI + dualview = nono, for now anyways. Could allways be added as a feature in a future driver, who knows.
