Blue tint on 2nd monitor! Why oh why!

Ok. I've got a small problem. Have spent a small 4tune (for me that is) in the last few weeks on new mobo/cpu/mem/cpu cooler/psu/graphics. Now the problem that I've got is that when I have dual monitor support enabled, one monitor has a blue tint as if pins on vga connector are bent or missing tho they're both ok. Have swapped monitors around on the DVI connectors and changed the dvi to d-sub adaptors on back of graphics and both monitors are fine. Do you think it could be the card? (which I bought this morning)

Usually that problem is the vga cable. try moving/twisting cable at both ends, it might come back.

Have you checked the colour temperature settings?

Edit: ignore that, should have read your post properly, sorry.

I had this problem, I put it down to that xp only let me use one colour profile and that because I had two different monitors it only suited the primary monitor. Could be wide of the mark though.
