Trying to get 2 monitors to work
Windows 10, PC Dell Studio.
I have two Dell Monitors connected. They are connected as follows: One is VGA to VGA. The second is DVI to VGA. (I hope this is correct).
Both Monitors are showing in the Device manager screen. Dell 1907FP (Analog) and Dell 2007FP (Analog) The drivers for both are up to date.
I checked the Display adaptors. There is a single adaptor : ATI Radeon HD 3450. Its driver is up to date
I clicked Windows+P and selected extended screen. One screen shows my desktop with Icons and Taskbar icons. The second screen does not show the desktop icons, although it does show the taskbar with icons.
My Problem:
I am able to transfer Word file icons from my Main Screen to the Second screen, using the Mouse. However when I click on the icons on the 2nd Screen they only open up on the 1st Screen. In short I am unable to open files on the 2nd Screen although I can place the file icons there. What am I doing wrong. I want to be able to compare these Word files placing them side by side on the two screens.
