Hi not know what happened but I can not se my second monitor.
I have one 19ins 1280 x 1024 on VGA and one on Digitel 24ins when booting up I get the 19ins on and not the 27ins I try detect and it not show it. I have it identify and teh VGA show as #" as it should be.
If I unplug the VGA and boot up the 27in works
It all worked before I had a driver update for the graphics card, so I did a rioll back to old driver and no change..
ANYONE help?
Thanks
GeForce G210 card

go into the nvidia control panel and try enabling multiple displays there rather than the windows settings.
Click to expand...
It is and everything shows that there are two screens, Windows see two screen but the two screen are in Nav control panel but its not showing as being there.
It was all working just stopped today..

Oh teh display things its on as I can go of the screen onto where the other screen is meant to be, if you get what I am saying..

tried every thing I can it will not let me change the second screen res it is low 1024x768 which it is not :) its a 24ins screen

I find it strange that windows things its there as mouse can go of the screen as if it was going to the other one Screens are in Extended mode.
Also tried duplicated screens as well still not showing anything.
 
What happens when you do the following:
Right click My Computer, click on Manage, click on Device manager (under system tools), click the little arrow next to display adapters to expand it, it should show your graphics card model. Right click on your graphics card model, click on Disable. It will switch to a low res, does it show on both screens?

No only one screen showing when disabling the card, but then I am guessing that would happen as both are connected to the same card.
Just my thought.

Odd.
Still looking under Device Manager, expand 'Monitors', how many show?

Can you just confirm:
If you unplug the 19" monitor without touching the cable for the larger one (24 or 27"? Your OP says both), the larger one works correctly?
 
Okay I have read that people are having problems using HDMI and dvi at the same time on this graphics card.
So swap one monitor to VGA if you can to see if that solves the issue, not perfect, but a step forward.

I *think* Chaz is using DVI and VGA.
However, you may be on the correct lines there. There seems to be some issues with using a VGA and DVI monitor together.
 
OK got your message chaz
Try this
Have you the original graphics disk? Unplug the dvi screen from the card. Go into device manager and uninstall graphics drivers.
Reboot.
Install original disk.
Add dvi screen back to card and setup again
