I am not sure in XP the Display settings support the clone mode. Have you made Extended to clone mode by using 'Oemdisp' functions or normal 'ChangeDisplaySettings' msdn function ?

I used normal Win32 API "ChangeDisplaySettingsEx" to switch from Extend to Clone, and its working fine.
Thanks,

Can you check, Is it possible to make Extended mode to clone mode by using the 'Display Driver' utility. [Advanced Display Properties -> Lauch the driver installed UI of Display Properties and try to switch from Extended to clone mode]. In that case is possible, then it's possible by code as well. We can also do this by giving an additional switching. First switch to Single display from Extended mode then switch to clone mode.
