asked on Unable to see anything --- Windows 8
While trying to setup dual monitors on my computer, I must have messed up something. I hate Windows 8. Anyway --- I know that system boots up (during posting I can see things and mover around); however I just see a blue screen with nothing else on it. I can see the mouse moving left to right; top to bottom; however I am unable to logon and do anything. Not sure what I did ..... what trying to get the split Super VGA monitors to extend as one single screen. I can see during diag (that the screen info coming from the card is: 1360X768 (believe that to be out of the monitors range)----- I can't find a way to correct the problem. I was and intend to install another video card (better functionality) DVI and see that will allow me to correct the problem. How can I correct this problem and get back to using my computer.
I have tried the windows key and D (for desktop) Nothing, I have tried pushing all of the F-keys (still nothing).

I agree with joewinograd, it seems like a possible driver issue with that adapter you plugged in. Disconnect the second monitor and install the driver first. Then plug it in and see what happens. Also, try hitting Windows + P to see if you get the dialog for extending screens, or duplicating.
you can even test with each monitor - and with each video card separately
Hi misterd,
