Multiple Monitors not working

Post » Sun Dec 21, 2014 3:42 am

I'm trying to find a basic How-To for setting up Skyrim in a multi-monitor configuration.

There are posts all over the internet regarding hacks and kluges for getting various things to work but there seems to be nothing here on the Elder Scrolls site.

This is puzzling since the need is so clearly evident. I'm sure I'm simplymissing something but I'll explain my situation anyway.

My setup:

Windows 7

Intel Core Quad Core i5-2400 @ 3.1

Nvidia 690 (Dual SLI 680's on one card)

Two 22" monitors (a 3rd waiting for a cable)

I've tried running Skyrim and reseting the video to defaults which should have the game detect my current video settings.

The result is the game only runs on my primary monitor.

This shouldn't be so difficult and it seems clear that other have as many as 6 monitors running.

Can anyone help?
