My secondary monitor port no longer seems to work with my secondary
monitor.... It may be Catalyst 3.9 related, I'm not sure. It was working
fine with previous 3.x drivers.

It recognizes the 2nd monitor, but won't expand my desktop to it....

Has anyone else had problems with dual monitors?

Click to expand...

I take it you have ticked the box to extend your desktop to the second
monitor?

When I do that it disables the clone mode and related stuff and extends the
desktop over.

If you can't make it work, I'd uninstall your control panel and drivers and
reboot and reinstall.

Yeah, I tick the Extend desktop box, but it disables itself a second
later.... It's odd.

Is your secondary display set up in Display Properties -> Settings ->
Advanced -> Displays panel? Try disabling it first.

Make sure the monitor driver is close enough too.

If still no joy, reinstall the ATI drivers (do a full removal first)
