So everything was working fine. I have two screens and Asus vg248 and an RCA screen as my second screen. I use the rca for monitoring temps while in game. Everything was working fine until last night. Now when i have my programs running for monitoring temps when i open a game they overlap eachother so i can't see them. Any help? Pictures attached.

 

This is what it looks like before running a game.

In the system display settings, do you have 'Extend desktop to this display' selected under Multiple displays with the right monitor checked off to make primary?

@@Merlin007 worked! thanks!!!!!! 

 

one other question, my main monitor is 144htz and my second screen is only 60htz. My 144 is hooked up using DVI and my 60 HDMI. I can only get the 144htz to output 60htz. it won't change to 144. If i unplug the 60htz i can get 144htz. Is there a solution to this?

Check your drivers and make sure they are up to date.  Also check the settings in the control panel of either nVidia or ATI whichever you have.  You are using a DVI-D cable correct?

because I don't think the gpu can run at 2 diff rates at the same time...maybe a second 144hz monitor is in order ;-)

once loaded  then  go where google  showed an resize  each monitor and save every time asks

 

also get monitor's .inf from their site     http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LCD%20Monitors/ASUS_VG248_Windows_7_WHQL.zip

 

 

other maybe is RCA screen is HDMI V1.0 where gpu is v1.4
