Dual monitor problem....

[FosterK]

Right, just been tidying up wires and stuff, boot back into XP, and it's only detecting one of my two monitors (both VX2025wm's).

I'm running an 8800GTX, and I'm a bit stumped on how or why the drivers aren't finding the second display. It doesn't even load anything during boot.

It's worked flawlessly before this, but after I take the cable out and put it in again with the PC off, it's having none of it.

Got it sorted, never mind

I forgot I had to unplug the power from the monitor before plugging in the DVI cable.

Turned the PC off, unplugged the second monitor (DVI and power), turned off the PSU, turned on the PSU, plugged the DVI to the second monitor in, plugged the second monitor power in, booted up. Selected Horizontal span.

Back to 3360x1050 goodness.


It's amazing how much one monitor sucks, after using two :|
