Viewer and Host version 6.7.0.2

I used Remote Utilities a few years ago to remote in from home to my work computer (found it very easy to install and use). I'm now at a new temporary job and have recently installed it to use there. I had dual monitors connected to a laptop and when I connected from home I could see all three screens by simply scrolling sideways on my Viewer screen (single monitor at home.) Due to problems with the laptop it was changed out to a desktop so now I have dual monitors attached to the desktop. When I open Remote Utilities Viewer and connect to my office computer, the Viewer icon shows me logged on and shows a thumbnail of both Host monitor screens properly however when I go over to the Host I see my main monitor but when I scroll sideways, instead of the second monitor screen I just see a black screen.

I installed the Host on the new desktop exactly as I had previously installed it on the laptop so don't know what is preventing me from seeing the second monitor properly. Any suggestions?

All computers are the latest Win 10.

Thanks, Conrad.

I suspect you're right about the graphics card. I'll mention it to the IT person the next time I see him in case he has a reasonably easy solution. However since I'm only there as a temporary fill-in for the next two months, I'll probably just live with it for that time. Not a big deal, as most stuff I would access from home is on the main monitor anyway. The one program I leave on the second monitor screen I can move over to the main screen before I leave work if I expect to access it later.

I enabled the legacy capture mode and I think that may have done the trick. That was Friday and I notice tonight that I have my second monitor screen back so guessing that might have been it.
