Hi scubawalt,
Is the second monitor shown in the device manager?
If it is not shown in the device manager, we should troubleshoot the hardware issue. Check the connection firstly or try to connect the monitor to another machine.
If it is shown in the device manager, check the following configuration.
Settings\System\Display\Detect
Best regards
