Question by : HELP!!!! start menu “windows 7″?
so i thought it was a good day. i finally attached a monitor splittler to the back of my main pc (for a dual monitor setup).
it all worked fine, except i could drag the screens across like i should.
I mucked around alot with the screen 1 & screen 2, wasnt really able to work out what number my main pc monitor was on (still dont know)
so searching on the internet ” obviously a hotkey.. it brought up “what setup did i want” (which i had seen before – i chose the dual screen
then BANG!!! LOST MY START MENU ALL MY DESKTOP except for main picture,
which seemed odd..
i was able to right click and say display icons, i saw 1 in the corner of the screen. so I Ctrl + A and dragged icons across, ITS AS THOUGH THE resolution kicked icons off screen (im thinking) even the start menu. now problem is I HAVE NO START MENU to pick up or i cant seem to open anything that was opened large before. eg: i managed to open VIRUS SCANNER because i never had that full screen. i cant open folders, programs ANYTHING… there is no option i can open on right click on screen that can help (ive tried them all ) 
please help. I do have a laptop. thats what im on now

Try unplugging one monitor and restarting. Right know, windows thinks you have another monitor attached and that it is displaying to that one instead of the ones you got.
Give this link a look when you start again or the above does not work.

well you mahaged to get on here but if your notba troll click the windows button on your keyboard if that doesnt work try ressing control alt delete all at once and then click the bottom to close it off if this doesnt work to hard shut down and restart hold the power button till it turns off then wait 5 seconds and turn it on
Go to your control panel(AMD’s CCC or Nvidia’s control panel) and choose CLONE desktop. You have made it one big monitor. I could access your computer via Teamviewer which is secure if you want to try that option. A Screenshot like http://postimage.org/image/6usb6iw37/ would add some clarity to this. That shows my two monitors. Nothing special about it either. You take a screenshot(shift+PrtScn or F12 within Steam) just like normal and it will see both monitors.
