In the Windows display settings are you able to duplicate them? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cannot-find-how-to-do-2-simple-things/?ID=1cfd4aad-5f6a-4503-99b6-28c27345859e#5 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 16:48:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cannot-find-how-to-do-2-simple-things/?ID=1cfd4aad-5f6a-4503-99b6-28c27345859e#5 DisplayFusion I am afraid I am going to have to give up. I tried what you suggested but do not get the drop down to clone (mirror) no matter which monitor is primary.

Thanks for the help.

To change which is your primary monitor: Click on the other monitor, click "Set Primary", click back to the monitor in picture, and now you should be able to Enable and Clone.

Note that setting the right monitor to primary means that the default window for a lot of things will be the right one. Since you are Cloning your screen, it shouldn't affect you when you have it on Clone. If you would like your left monitor to be the primary one when you have it on Extend mode, you should consider creating 2 monitor profiles ... one with the right one as primary and the left one as "Clone", and one with the left monitor as primary and the right one as "Extend".

Hope this helps, please write back if need more tweaking! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cannot-find-how-to-do-2-simple-things/?ID=1cfd4aad-5f6a-4503-99b6-28c27345859e#3 Sun, 15 Oct 2017 20:24:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cannot-find-how-to-do-2-simple-things/?ID=1cfd4aad-5f6a-4503-99b6-28c27345859e#3 DisplayFusion Keith,

In the drop down box beneath the Screen Resolution slider, there are only two choices. Enabled or Disabled. These are the only two choices even if I change the selection to screen 2.

Attached is a copy of the drop down box.

Thanks in advance! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cannot-find-how-to-do-2-simple-things/?ID=1cfd4aad-5f6a-4503-99b6-28c27345859e#2 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 18:56:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cannot-find-how-to-do-2-simple-things/?ID=1cfd4aad-5f6a-4503-99b6-28c27345859e#2 DisplayFusion For duplicating the monitors, you should be able to do the following:

• Right-click the desktop, choose DisplayFusion > Monitor Configuration
• In the drop-down below the screen resolution slider, choose "Enabled and cloned with monitor #X"
• Click Apply

For spanning the Excel window, you can do the following:

• Right-click the desktop, choose DisplayFusion > Settings
• On the Functions tab, find the "Span Window Across All Monitors" function and double-click it
• Set a key combination, click OK, and Apply the Settings
• Focus the Excel window and press the key combination to span it across both monitors
• Note that this will only work when the monitors are in extended mode, not duplicated mode

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cannot-find-how-to-do-2-simple-things/?ID=1cfd4aad-5f6a-4503-99b6-28c27345859e Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:18:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cannot-find-how-to-do-2-simple-things/?ID=1cfd4aad-5f6a-4503-99b6-28c27345859e DisplayFusion I am not a gamer. i need monitor software for work. I have two monitors.

I have two needs that I cannot understand how to get to work.

First I need to have BOTH screens mirror each other for training, etc. So i can turn a monitor to show someone without having them sit beside me of over my shoulder.

Second, I need to Span excel to cover across both screens. I can kind of do this without any software now by minimizing the Excel window and dragging the borders across to the edge of the second monitor. That works but I would love a key combo to do this instead so it would be quicker and easier.

I downloaded the latest version for a trial but cannot get the dual indentical screens to work at all.

Help greatly appreciated. I viewed many youtube videos and it looks like this software does a whole lot of things. But i only need two things from it right now and cannot get the dual indentical monitors to work.

Any help greatly appreciated.
