Can't extend screen display onto second monitor-Vista 64—ATI Radeon X1900
I am using an ATI Radeon X1900 with Vista 64 bit. I am using ATI
Catalyst version 8.593.100.3. The problem is that when I try to extend the display onto either a connected TV or a second monitor from within the Catalyst Control Center nothing happens. I have tried a variety of different resolutions including resolutions that are within the capability of the second monitor but whenever I click on “Extend main on to monitor” nothing happens. On the other hand cloning works just fine, both on the TV in the second monitor. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it since I a major task over the next week that definitely requires additional monitor screen area? Thanks for any help in advance! |

I just discovered that I was using version 9.11 of Catalyst. I downloaded and installed version 9.3 which ATI/AMD says is the latest version that supports “all the features” of the X1900. No change in behaviour, however—cloning works fine but extending does not work at all. |

Have you tried doing this outside Catylist, through Windows? Click on desktop, properties, settings and check the box "extend my desktop onto this monitor" -- pyotr filipivich. Just about the time you finally see light at the end of the tunnel, you find out it's a Government Project to build more tunnel. |

Right clicking on the desktop doesn't give “properties” as one of the options, only “personalize.” The only display settings one can change are resolution and color depth. There is no access to any way of setting up the second monitor even in “Advanced Settings”—at least as far as I can see. |

PS—I just switched to XP/SP 3 on the same machine and Catalyst extends the screen on to the second monitor with no problem at all. I hope that the X1900 is simply incapable of doing this in Vista! |
