3 monitors with windows 7 home premium
Ill start off with my rig. AMD PhenomII x4 965 Denab (Black Edition) 8gb DDR 1600 2 500gb sATA in raid 0 2 PNY GTX 260 896mb in sli 2 23" LCD monitors 1 32" LCDtv as main display. Just updated to the 32" for my main screen however when i hooked it up i lost a monitor. windows will not let me connect all at same time. Every time i set the "Disconnected" 23" monitor to "Extend Desktop to this display, it "Disconnects" the other 23". I Have the 32" mounted in center with the two 23" screens mounted level with the bottom of the 32" on either side. want my 32" as primary with the 2 23's as extra space but still on same desktop. any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I have never done SLI, but I believe that it doesn't support 3 monitors, any more than a single GTX 260 would.

Hi, Before going further, make sure the computer support multiple DVI or VGA ports and the monitors can be recognized successfully. If any one cannot be recognized, please update the display driver from the manufacture. To configure settings, right clicking on the desktop -> selecting "Screen resolution". Click the "Identify" button to throw up numbers on each screen to identify them and then drag and drop them to match your current arrangement. Check "Make this my main display" on the monitor you want to be your main display. The main taskbar and Start menu will appear here. All of your monitors should have "Extend desktop to this display" selected in the "Multiple displays" drop down menu. The only time you'll have to really spend any significant time fiddling in the display settings is if you have multiple but mismatched monitors.
