    OK, I have a display plugged in via HDMI, and when I go to Desktops and Displays in CCC, nothing is there. Has this happened to anyone else. I need to adjust the scan settings.

    There should be a 3rd drop down menu in the Windows resolution setting window that will allow you to choose:

    • Duplicate these displays
    • Extend these displays
    • Show desktop only on 1
    • Show desktop only on 2

    I know about that, however I need to use CCC to adjust overscan and underscan, and nothing is there. Do anyone else's displays show up in CCC?

    It isn't in the HP CCC under fixed mode graphics, I had to adjust the scanning mode in the OSD of my display. It may be in CCC if under dynamic switchable graphics mode, I'll have to look.

    Do you mean manual switching by "fixed mode graphics"? So it just isn't there in CCC, there isn't even a "Detect Displays" button? That's how it is for me...
