Extended display not in correct resolution
Hello,
Prior to moving my computer setup yesterday my desktop was running 2 monitors fine with extended desktop. Then, after the move, when I reconnected the monitors to my desktop I am only able to get duplicate display in correct resolution, but my extended display only works on one display resolution- except everything on my desktop looks too big and is in low resolution (even though it is set at highest resolution in display properties).
I have no idea what is wrong, all I want to do is make my 2 monitors have extended display, but nothing works!
I am using a StarTech dongle which takes 2 DVIs from monitors into 1 DisplayPort in back of graphics card.
Please Help!!!!!

Hi Blahbee,
You need to provide the desktop details, model, OS, graphics card, that sort of thing.

Ok after fiddling with the AMD Catalyst Control Center, I am able to get extended display, but the viewable area in 1 screen is slightly smaller than the other screen (about 1 inch margin less on all sides) and the resolution is only slightly worse than the other screen.
How can I get both screens to have the same resolution and viewable screen area??
Please help!!
