Anyone having problems running Win7 on two monitors?

i have an LCD and a TV hooked to my PC. it shows the windows loading screen on the TV but when the desktop loads it goes blank.

Video card is Geforce 7950GX2.

gotta get to work. check back later.

Have you installed the graphics drivers from windows update and configured your second display?

I have been having problems with using dual monitors. Whenever I plug in my second monitor my primary display turns to blue and white flashing lines. My second monitor displays fine and I can get my primary to work by changing to 16bit colour then back again. If I do a screenshot it does not show the flashing lines. Im using a 7900gs

My multi monitor setup works fine. Currently running 1x 8800GTX power 1 22" LCD Monitor and 1 42" LCD TV and second 8500GT running the third 22" LCD Monitor. Using the lastest 181 nvidia drivers.

I recommend updated your video drivers.

Hi, under the screen resolution, there's an option in blue writing called "Connect to a Projector" click that and select the option you want, this worked for me.

The drivers were installed automatically. Windows Update shows that there's an update for it but errors when it tries to install. the error occurs when it's already been installed(according to the error description)

i don't see that option on the screen resolution page.

when i tell it to extend the desktop to the second display it errors "Unable to save display settings"

i've tried both the nvidia control panel and windows. still nothing.
Is it possible to use the up to date drivers for vista for the video card?

Its in Blue writing under the drop down menus for "Display", "Resolution" and "Orientation"

Press the Windows key, tab and "P" you should get the menu options for connect to projector

Try disconnecting the TV, then updating the drivers, then reconnecting the TV. Reboots between all stages.

tried Moosetek13's thing. still nothing. windows still says "unable to save display settings"

and to hoopsdavis. this is my display properties window.

Thats weird, and you're running the actual 7000 build beta?

I'll dig a little deeper for you and se what I can find out.

I am currently running both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 Beta and have had no significant problems running dual monitors.. I do have to admit though on the 64 bit version it took a little more time to get both up and running properly but with a couple driver "tweaks" it's fine now... Primary display is Samsung 22" LCD (T220) Secondary is a NEC Multisync LCD1700M+ (an oldy but a goody none the less, I use it mainly for surfing/working with apps when I'm watching a video on the primary display).. The video card in my main comp is listed in my system specs but it's a Radeon HD 3870 512MB..
