Morning folks!
I got a little issue with my setup here at work and while I keep forgetting to do an extensive search at home, I don't really have the hours to sink into it here at work. And internal IT is just useless anyway.
The issue:
- I got 2 screens on my PC with different native resolutions and aspect ratios
- I can't find a way to use them as two individual screens while maintaining their respective native resolution
- I am currently stuck at it being one extended desktop at 2560x1024, with at least the ability to maximize windows to just one of the screens
The setup:
- Windows XP SP3 (sigh, unchangable)
- nVidia Quadro 600, current driver 307.45, previously tested 320.xx (which did somehow not even made windows maximize to one screen)
- Screen 1: 22" 16:10 (1680x1050) connected via DVI to DVI
- Screen 2: 19" 5:4 (1280x1024) connected via DVI to DP
Any ideas or suggestions how, or even if, I can get both screens to run at their native resolution? I can't really change the hardware and XP is unfortunately a given, but I have basically free reign when it comes to drivers and software.
Cheers
Thomas
