HI,

Since I got my new card, the display on the second monitor turn all black after loading windows. I mean while xp is loading i see the xp loading screen but it goes all black after. Is there anything i can do to solve this. I like to use the second monitor to run programs like ts and hardball when i play il2. My main monitor is a Syncmaster 226bw and my secondary is a Syncmaster 700nf. I tried to chand the resolutions and refresh rates on both but no results.

Thanks.

Me thinks you should either be able to configure the setting in Windows' Control Panel Display icon (look for 'extend my desktop to this monitor), and/or use the software that came with the ATI Driver and change the settings from there...

(The fact it initially shows the Windows logo means it gets a good signal, though that's just a duplicate of the main screen, that's normal.

When Windows' video driver is loaded, it switches off the second screen, probably because it's not configured to use it...)

Good Luck!
