Dual Monitors, 1 has no display
I have been using dual monitors to extend my display area. Last night it
appears that there was an automatic update to my PC. Not a problem, except now my second display is not showing up. I know it's on because the power button is blinking. How do I get the second monitor to show the display again? This happened before after an update but I can't remember how we fixed it. I'm using Vista. Thanks -- BarbAr |

Reconnect the monitor and power up and see if it properly detected. |
