Try stretching the window (re-sizing it) instead. To do that you start by first reducing its size from full size. Then go to the side of the window and look for the little double headed arrow symbol to start the resizing.

Doc - tried that already - to no avail!

edit - Doc after much perseverence - it did work - obviously something I'll have to get used to. Thanks.

skinny, check you have the latest version of the graphics card driver.

Thanks Kayak - see updated post 1054 - operator error!!!!

Well done skinny. :-)

Doc - having had a quick look at your link - this was probably my problem.

You'll probably want to move windows, applications or programs to the second monitor. However, don't even try to move a fully maximized window! It will refuse to be dragged to the second monitor until you have reduced its size or clicked on the restore button. Once you've done either of those functions, grab the top of the window, with the left-mouse button depressed, and drag it over.

Re DVI Connections.Can i get an adaptor so i can fit it to my existing PC
Or do i have to fit new sockets to my PC??

Iain, re DVI you need a DVI equipped Graphics card, the connector on the back of the card will be about 1.5 inches long and probably white, if it has just a 15 pin probably blue connector then you will have to stay analogue or buy a new graphics card. The converters that exist convert DVI to analogue not the other way round.

Thanks Spaceman.Using Matrox g550

Iain, the G500 is I think available in more than one version, one version does have dual DVI outputs. the connector is much bigger than the older type and is obviose when you have seen both ;-) If the Dell TFT's came with a DVI connector you need to see if that will plug into the back of your G550.

Ive got the older one.
Cheers for your help.

Check out Webroot.com for some free software to do this and also give yourself an initial Free Scan.

zarif, DocProcs suggestion is good for a general clean up but for spyware the best programs are Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware, both of these are free.

thank u docproc and spaceman.
Just cleaning up the machine.
Will know if its cured soon and let u know.

zarif, if you have a specific problem let me know particularily if you have a hijack type problems where your browser is going to odd places, some of them need special treatment, there are forums and other tools available for info.

Yes spaceman -thats exactly whats keeps on happening.
