Hello, I use two monitors for work, and recently, I replaced the video card and now, one of my monitors is not functioning properly. One monitor is fine, the other is not displaying correctly. Is my only option to go back to the old video card, or is there something else I can do? Do I need to replace the monitor? Thank you.

1. Go to “Start” button and then click “Control Panel.”2. Select “Appearance and Themes,” and then click “Display.”
3. In your Settings tab, click “Identify” to display a large number on each of your monitors. This shows which monitor corresponds with each icon.
4. Select the monitor icons and drag them to positions that represent how you want to move items from one monitor to another, and then click “OK” button or “Apply” button to view changes.
You can also try these steps to optimize your display screens.
