2. Select the monitor icon that represents the add-on display you wish to change, or
choose the add-on display from the drop-down menu. The
primary display is always
icon 1.
3. Once you’ve selected the monitor icon for the add-on display, check the checkbox to
extend video onto the monitor, or select the extension option from the drop-down list.
4. Drag the monitor icons in the
Display Settings
page so that they are positioned to
replicate the location of the actual displays. For example, if display 1 is directly to
the left of display 2, the monitor icons should be positioned that way. This affects
which side of the screen the mouse is allowed to move to the next display from,
and is therefore essential to ensure smooth mouse movement between displays.
5. Click the
Apply
button to activate the changes. The computer video will now be
extended from the primary display to the add-on display.
Note: When playing a DVD, it is recommended that you play the DVD on a
monitor connected to the computer via standard cabling, and not an add-on
monitor connected via display adapter. If you need to play DVD on an add-on
monitor, you must have a 2.0GHz Core Duo CPU with 1GB memory, and the
screen resolution must be set to 800 x 600 with 16-bit color. If multiple display
adapters are connected to a computer, only 1 of them can play DVD content.

1. Open your computer’s
Display Settings
page. By default, all monitors added to your
computer will be extended to the right of the primary display.
2. If the displays are set to be mirrored, the
Mirror Displays
checkbox will be checked.
To uncheck this checkbox and extend the video amongst all displays, check the
Arrangement
option in the
Display Settings
page.
3. When unchecked, video will be extended amongst the connected monitors, with the
Arrangement screen display icons to represent the location of the monitors. Drag
the monitor icons so that they are positioned to replicate the location of the actual
displays. For example, if display 1 is directly
to the left of display 2, the monitor icons
should be positioned that way. This affects
which side of the screen the mouse is allowed
to move to the next display from, and is
therefore essential to ensure smooth mouse
movement between displays. The primary
display will always be indicated by a white bar
at the top of its icon.
