    Dual monitors on 7800GTX

    Argh, setting up two monitors on my ATi 9800XT was a piece of cake, but this is stupid on this NVIDIA nView display settings trying to get any picture on my NEC 1760NX as my secondary display is impossible!

    I make the correct settings, apply, and my monitor sits there in standby while the display is changed (obviously as some of the windows move to where the other half of the desktop should be) on my Dell 2005fpw. Yet the other monitor sits in standby, I don't click the confirmation as I can't see it and after a few seconds it reverts back.

    Both are using DVI (NEC has been tested on DVI when it used to be primary display, no problems), haven't tried the NEC on VGA as I don't really want to (pain to get PC out and rewire).

    Any suggestions/step-by-step guides?

    Cheers,

    Tobe

    erm i've found nvidia much better with multiVDu setups than ATI.

    Are you just clicking extend my desktop in windows?

    Windows should detect the two screens (often calling them "plug n play montior" or something crap). Do you see both screens in display properties
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)

    Ive tried that and using the nvidia control panel. It detects both of them, as does the nvidia software, but the monitor sits in standby?

    Im going to try VGA cable to see if that has a difference.
