Can't detect 2nd

This is driving me nuts. I've had a dual monitor set up for some time. Today with no warning my extended desktop went down to one desktop. Catalyst control center no longer sees or detects the 2nd monitor. Tested cables. Switched cables at the monitors and at the video card. Uninstalled the software and reinstalled it. Same problem. I'm wondering if my card gave up the ghost?:confused:

Your card is getting old so its a good possibility. And unless you have a second card to try in the system, its hard to tell.

I think you may be right. Don't have another card to try. Ugh
