Dual Display Will Not Work on Bootcamp Windows 7
Summary: I lost the ability to run dual display on Windows 7 Bootcamp after updating NVIDIA driver.
How:
- I set up a Windows 7 bootcamp OS on my macbook to run a windows-only game.
- After installation, I was able to hook up a monitor via Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and run a dual screen set up(with the laptop Retina display being the secondary monitor.)
- A day later, a notification for NVIDIA software update pops up, so I install it.
Result:
- I lose the ability to run dual displays from the NVIDIA graphics card. I am informed of this by an error message the first time I try to check the second display. I can only choose either my external monitor, or the laptop display as the sole display. Note: Graphics quality has improved.
Specs:
MacBook Pro11,3
Intel Core i7
Intel Iris Pro
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
Question:
Is there a way I can run dual displays and utilize the full power of the NVIDIA graphics card? Did the auto-update perhaps recommend the wrong driver? Since I have two graphics cards, is it possible for one to power one display, and the other to power the second one?
I was unable to turn up any similar cases from searching online, so any direction on this matter would be appreciated. Thank you!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Windows 7
