[Resolved] SCS not seeing second monitor

Post by sclg » Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:33 am

Having a first go at using video. This is SCS 11.3.3.2 and W7 64 bit on a laptop.

Control Panel - Display - Screen Resolution shows my 2 displays. The second one works as you'd expect if I set it to Duplicate or Extend.
If got it set to 'Show desktop only on 1' which seems logical.

However, in SCS, Options - Video Driver settings only shows 1 screen connected - no sign of the external one. Doesn't matter if I select xVideo or DirectShow or VMR-9 or VMR-7.

Any suggestions??
Thanks
Steve

The second display must be set as an extension of the Windows desktop, not a duplicate. SCS should then see two screens, but note that SCS checks this on startup. So if SCS is open when you change the Windows setting, then close and restart SCS after making the change.

If the above doesn't help then let me know.
