As you can see, I have two monitors connected to one card.

What I want is one monitor connected to each card.

Can anyone help?

NOTE TO MODS

Your filtering assumes that the (at) symbol can and will only be used to post email addresses and prevents me from using it.

I have had to search and replace the (at) symbol in the above post and replace it with the letters "(at)"

Sorry if this section doesn't make a great deal of sense by the forum prevents me from posting what I actually a) need to b) mean.
