Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 So Windows detects 3 monitors instead of 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herne Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Exactly.It would be something I could live with, but it seems to be messing up ATI's dual monitor software and stopping me being able to run each monitor at a different res/refresh rate.

buletov Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 if you disconnect one, how many are detected by windows?(first try disconnecting only one, then only the other one..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herne Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Just one, no matter which is connected to the VGA port...I've also tried swapping primary and secondary around and it still detects 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herne Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Google didn't bring up anything useful...I think this is a problem that's unique in its kind. A format+reinstall can do wonders here I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiGGiTY Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 If you unistall the monitor drivers, and the video drivers and give her a reboot are you still in the same situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
