Change the mode to mirror in Nvidia control centre.

Just go to setup milti displays in the Nvidia panel and click on the "Clone" dot. It will mirror your display.

Go into nVidia Control Panel, then select manage multiple displays, then check both so it shows 1 and 2 next to eachother then there is an option for Mirroring or cloning display to second monitor.

nVidia control panel looks different than it used to... Under "setup multiple displays" it should have 3 bubbles to check. One of them should say "clone: display the same image on both monitors" or something along those lines. I only have one display hooked up so the option isn't there for me or I'd try to be more specific.

Have you updated your drivers?

Try right clicking on your desktop and click on personalize. Then click on the display tab at the bottom. See if you can turn it on in there.

Try this program:

Ultramon

You'll want to clone the display, but that will only work if they are both at the same resolution, otherwise one will look goofy.

The program? Works great for me. Could be your graphics card struggling.
