patrico 8 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Everyone, it seems every time I post on here, its to do with a problem looking back through my previous posts that is vindicated, but I am learning a lot from the hangar.................thank you all. Sometimes I have to nip over to the PMDG forum @ Avsim too obtain specialised help on my T7 as very few people on here fly PMDG aircraft. My question today involves work previous done by FSXGenius who we all know is now in prison. I have two monitors a normal PC 23" and a 50" TV one. I know its something to do with the settings but I am reluctant to experiment. For some reason my 2nd monitor has gone offline What settings do I need to have. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Patrick, First of all make sure the video plugs are fully inserted either end and the small thumb screws are tightened up. Also make sure the fuse hasn't blown in the power lead to the monitor by swapping the leads over if you can. Then right click on the desk top and choose 'screen resolution' from the menu you should see the two monitors shown, there is an option titled 'Multiple displays' it should be set to 'Extend these displays' That will give you something to check first.

Thanks Joe I will have to wait until the wifey comes home tonight 7pm to check some of them things. on right clicking on the desktop and choosing screen resolution I only see 1 monitor before it used to be two. I suspect the USB cable to the monitor has become detached but as I said I will have to wait for the wifey to come home and check.(one of the disadvantages of being in a wheelchair) Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ah ok, that's a good sign, if you don't see the two monitors in the screen resolution screen then hopefully it will just be a loose lead. All the best.. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 If it is the 50" TV that doesn't work it might just be that you accidentally switched it over to a different input source (or for some reason it switched it on it's own, ours do that from time to time). Depending on how many inputs you have available on the 23" this could be the reason if that's the one that isn't working too, usually it's possible to switch between inputs through a button on the monitor... The USB-cable should have nothing to do with it though, you need to check the VGA/DVI/HDMI/Display Port cable depending on what you use to connect the Graphics Card to the monitors.
