win 8 + dvi + 7.1 drivers = mirror only mode?

[Wim]

It looks like there is a primary display driver missing as it's using the default Microsoft driver in the system details.txt:

Graphics: Microsoft Basic Display Driver ((Standard display types))
Graphics Driver: Dated 0

That doesn't look right. Do you have all the latest graphics card drivers installed?

The primary graphics drivers still look strange on this machine. In the system details.txt I see:

Graphics: Microsoft Basic Render Driver (Microsoft)
Graphics Driver: 9.17.10.2849 Dated 2012/09/02
Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics (Intel Corporation)
Graphics Driver: 9.18.13.1407 Dated 2013/02/09
Graphics: Microsoft Basic Display Driver ((Standard display types))
Graphics Driver: Dated 0
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 (NVIDIA)
Graphics Driver: Dated 0

The items in bold should not be there and I think the cause of the issue. If you run the debug and look at the system details do these items still appear? If so then there is something weird with the primary graphics drivers, which is causing our drivers not to work.
