Dual Monitor Setup For Nvidia Cards

Nov 16, 2007

I've just installed Vista Business x64, however I do have some problems setting up the Dual monitors. I have: On the left a Dell 2005FPW, which is pivoted (to read PDFs and stuff like that easier) On the right a Samsung 226BW, which set to normal. However, when I go to the NVIDIA setup, and try to tell which monitor is where and which should be the primary display. The primary display always tends to be placed on the left side in the software. I want the Dell to be the extended display, while the Samsung is the primary display. But the software (either in Vista or the NVIDIA driver itself) insist on that both the primary and the first mentioned display is the same.

Dual Monitor Not Holding Settings With Latest 180.48 NVIDIA

Dec 5, 2008

I run a dual Monitor set-up and that has been fine with previous drivers. Since installing 180.48 yesterday, when I reboot or start-up, it all defaults to a single monitor and messes up my icons. Fault appears to be on the NVIDIA part of things, as it loses the tick in the second Monitor under the NVIDIA Control Panel "Set Up Multiple Displays". It doesn't lose the tick in "Do Not USe SLI Config".

Dual Monitor Setup Video Card

Oct 2, 2008

I have a HP Pavilion computer that has the video card built into the motherboard, I want to run dual monitors on the computer. Can I using the existing video card setup and get another video card to run the second monitor, or do I need to get a dual monitor video card? Or is there any other options for a dual monitor setup. This computer is not for high speed graphics. No gaming on this system. Just need to know the best way to approach this situation or what you would recommend.

2 Differing Nvidia Cards.running 3 Monitors

Mar 2, 2008

interested in running 3 monitors than SLi. I have 2 differing nvidia cards here, a 7300gt and an 8400gs. In theory they should work in the same system no? If I make the 8400 my main card and the 7300 my secondary card.run 2 wide screens off the 8400 and an older 19" non wide off the 7300 should work right?Worked in xp I think. but get this..vista gave me a 4.3 for my 7300, and a 3.5 for my 8400.

NVidia GTX280 Or GTX285: Next Gen Graphics Cards From ATI Hooked Up In Xfire

Aug 20, 2009

It started out small, the one graphics card, PSU, Plenty of slots to upgrade the motherboard, a decent sound card, an O.Clockable CPU, decent DDR3 Ram, and plenty of space to upgrade. See System Specs. So my Dilemma is this.... I have a Single GTX 280 (cost me $860 AUD {Australian Dollar} when this first came out [btw our exchange rate was pretty close to the US one at the time -right before wall street crashed, so equivalent of $750 US roughly - I know a wrought, aye, and the HD4870X2 comes out a week later, I was furious])

Anyway I have a 790i Ultra SLI motherboard (as we all know can house 3 Nvidia VGA's)
I was tempted to get 2 GTX280's and then a GTX275(to do physx calculations - if you know anything about Tri-SLI this actually is FASTER than 3 GTX280's in a TRI-SLI configuration), GTX 280's arent sold in Australia anymore and GTX 285's are... so do you guys reckon I should upgrade? or wait for DX11 cards to come out, build another system and let my girlfriend use this one (she loves gaming too, arent I a lucky *******)

Im looking into the future..., wait!... I see something... its a... a core i7 975 overclocked to 5.5Ghz stable... the next Gen graphics cards from ATI hooked up in Xfire (which WILL kill Nvidia this round -GPU die shrink, Nvidia are focussing their technology on copying Intel's Larrabee, which doesnt seem to be going too well for them, because its all about chips and Nvidia cant Die-shrink even if we gave them millions to do so)..... Im seeing a 1200 Watt PSU, 2x (2560x1200) monitors, a monitor on the Case, Liquid cooling, 24GB DDR3 2000Mhz, and 2 SSD's in Raid, with others complimenting it... Lastly no Price Tag....

Single Monitor Stuck In Dual Monitor Setting

Mar 13, 2010

i have only one monitor, and somehow it is being treat as though its the secondary monitor in a dual monitor set up. i cannot view my start menu, or view any programs being opened, as when i try to open them, they presumeably open on the phantom primary monitor. even when i try to open display settings, i cannot see the box. i am able to move my mouse to the left border of the screen and move it off into oblivion, and occasionally drag random folders and short cuts over to view.

Dual ATI Graphics Cards

Sep 27, 2009

I'm running:

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.73 GHz

3.5 GB RAM

ATI Raedeon Xpress 200M Chipset

Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit

I have recently installed a ATI Radeon HD 4670 into my computer, I downloaded the latest ATI Catalyst driver from the ATI website and it installed the latest driver for both of the video cards, after it restarted I get this error message in the device manager for the ATI Radeon HD 4670:

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)

I checked in the device manager and it says it has the same wddm driver version for both devices, I have tried installing many times but it continues to presist, is this a Windows Vista or ATI issue? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Dual Graphics Cards.

May 2, 2008

Running Windows Vista Ult and i installed a second graphics card to run 3 monitors.
The problem is device manager doesn't show the second installed graphics card.

My System:

E6850
GA-x38-DQ6 MoBo
4Gb ram

8800 Ultra
7600GT (This is the card i added)

Basically it recognizes the 8800 Ultra only. I have read that to use dual cards with Vista they need to use the same drivers (169.25), which they do. Even if that wasn't the case shouldn't the graphics card show in device manager regardless?

Is there something about Vista and dual graphics that i am missing?

The 7600GT functions fine, (tested in another computer) so i am at a loss here.

System Does Not Support Dual Channel RAM Cards

Jul 13, 2009

I own an Alienware Area-51 7500-R5 gaming desktop. I am upgrading to Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I am thinking to upgrade the RAM to 8GB. The only issue is that my system does not support Dual Channel RAM cards. Do they sell single channel RAM cards? I can't seem to find any. Another problem as well, I did a Crucial Memory Scan and it read: Maximum Memory Supported: 4096MB. Does this refer to that I cannot go over 4096MB because of my system or because of the Operating System I am running. I am running Windows XP Pro 32bit. I know 32bit can only process 4GB of RAM or 4096MB of RAM. But does the memory scan refer to the Operating System limit or how much my system can handle overall. When I bought it Alienware said I could do plenty of upgrades on it.

Nvidia And Monitor : Horizontal Tearing

Jan 18, 2009

I just got a new PC with a Point Of View GTX280EXO Vga and a Samsung 2232GW 22" widscreen LCD monitor. I have set it at 1680x1050 res but the problem is I'm noticing a big amount of horizontal tearing! I have the latest Nvidia and monitor drivers installed.

I notice this in games and in Windows, for example when I scroll this forum screen downwards quickly, I notice the tearing on the right and left sides of the text area on the dark area of the background. Is this normal? I hooked up my old CRT 17" monitor and set it to the highest 1280x1024 res and this does not happen.

WSXGA Monitor Resulation Setup

Apr 11, 2009

i just bought a new Samsung syncmaster 2033sw... to be used as an extension monitor from my laptop, my graphic card is Intel Graphics Media the driver for that comes along with my monitor is SyncMaster 2033SW/2033SWPLUS,SyncMaster Magic CX2033SW(Analog). so, the resolution was suppose to be 1600 by 900, but there's no such option in my "display setting". (btw, i'm using vista). there's only an option for 1440 by 900. and even that comes after i updated the driver, the options were even worse before...

Setup Dual Boot XP/ With Two HD

Mar 4, 2010

I can't figure out how to set up dual boot with two complete, but seperate drives already running respective OS's fine.. I had two seperate HD's, one with XP, one with Vista Ult. already on them. I want to be able to dual-boot these but all I can find is setting up dual boot when installing one or the other (Vista w/XP already on or XP w/Vista already on). I have EasyBCD on hand.

Dual Boot Setup?

Jul 29, 2009

you all gave DavidG on the dual boot setup. First I have two HDD's both are IDE and split in half, one is WD 250 gig with WinXP on it the other is a WD 160 gig with Win 7 RC on it. My MB is an MSI K9 with only 1 IDE socket so I have a PCI card that add's 2 more. If I have it right to make it a dual boot all I have to do is:

1. Connect the WinXP drive and the Win 7 drive one to the IDE and one on the PCI card and run the Win 7 setup disk to repair and create the dual boot.

2. Or do I have to reload the Win 7.

Dual Boot Setup Vista

Mar 23, 2008

I have a dual boot setup that has Vista on one sata hard drive and Windows XP on another sata hard drive. If I remember correctly, I installed XP 1st and than Vista. I now want to keep the current system running with XP and remove the Vista hard drive and install it in a new computer I am building. I'm guessing I will have bootup issues on boot on both pc's once I remove the Vista hard drive.

Dual Desktop Monitor

Nov 22, 2009

I currently have two monitors. The back of this computer has 2 video ports. 1 of which is DVI-I (4 pins next to the long pin) and 1 DVI-D (Does not have 4 pins). I currently have 1 17 VGA ONLY Monitor, and one 19 DVI-I, VGA, S-Video. I have 1 VGA cord, 1 DVI-D cord, and one DVI-I to VGA Adapter.Both Monitors work in the DVI-I slot. Obviously I can only connect the VGA to the DVI-I slot. I have been on intels support site for hours checking drivers, updating bios, etc. Can provide screen shots of anything needed to help with this. When I right click and go to "Personalize" I can click on the "greyed out" Monitor 2, click extend desktop, when I click apply the "working" screen flickers, asks do I want to keep these setting yet nothing has changed. Once I click yes it returns to display settings and monitor 2 is greyed out again.Under "Device Manager" under Display Adapters it says "Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset", and under Monitors it states "Generic PnP Monitor"....

How To Dual Monitor Support

Dec 10, 2006

since nobody can fix my memory issue, i decided to run vista on my PC. everything went smooth, except when i leave my computer and the monitor goes into "power save" and turns off. when i move the mouse / press a key on the keyboard to turn the monitor back on, one of my screens goes all green and has scanlines running across from it, and its all jagged. when this happens, i cannot even log back into vista, or see anything for that matter. i have no choice but to manuall reboot the computer and log back in. the multi monitor support in vista really sucks, so i installed my nvidia drivers to see if i could use the nvidia multi monitor support and i cannot even find my nvidia control panel. anyways, as a last resort, i installed ultramon, which is a 3rd party multi monitor support program which seemed to work fairly well. but then, when the monitor goes into power save again...the same stupid thing happens.i have currently given up running two monitors with vista, and im running just one until the whole monitor scanline problem goes away.

Dual Monitor Setting

Aug 14, 2009

I am trying to set up my dual monitor settings.Here is a link to my current desktop, not embedded because it is rather large. According to the settings, I have the my left monitor as my primary monitor, and my right monitor is my secondary monitor. What is bugging me is that my start menu is on the secondary monitor when I would like it on the primary. If I swap my primary and secondary monitors, my icons move to the right monitor, but regardless of primary/ secondary my start menu remains on the right. How do I move it to the left?

Keeps Losing Dual Monitor Settings

Jun 10, 2009

Maybe there's a fix this somewhere deep in the forums - I just can't find it. And I've read in other forums the same problem but no one seems to have the fix. Just got a new computer - HP with Vista Home Premium 64bit. Video card is ATI Radeon HD4850 with two DVI outputs. I have twin Acer V223W monitors connected with DVI cables.

I can figure out how to set them up in Vista, and also in ATI Catalyst, setting the default and extending the desktop and all that. I had been running dual monitors like this for years on my former XP machine. My problem is, each time Vista goes to sleep, or hibernates, and even on some restarts it reverts back to clone mode. HUGE pain in the butt.

Weird Dual Monitor Power Does Not Refresh

Jun 9, 2009

I am experiencing a strange power problem with my monitors. I have two, each hooked up to a Radeon HD 800 series video card with dual DVI connectors. The problem is this: When I have my computer working as normal, if I switch off my secondary monitor, and then switch it back on, my primary monitor's display garbles and goes out for a second until my secondary monitor is back on. Also, anything that was displaying on my secondary monitor does not refresh and I can not access those programs. Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix this?

Dual Monitor Graphics Card, Performance Poor

May 27, 2008

I have a new computer with Vista Home Premium x64. I used a dual monitor graphics card in my old computer with Windows XP. Took the card out and install it in my new computer and updated the driver. But, performance is poor. For example I can't use Vista Aero. I would like to buy a new, relatively inexpensive dual monitor graphics card which is compatible with Vista premium x64.

How can I stop Vista reverting backto the Laptop as the main monitor? (This happens aven though at no stage have I un-docked the laptop!)

X64 System(KB968389) Dual Monitor Video Card: S3 Sleep

Aug 19, 2009

I think after this update: Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB968389) …my dual monitor video card: PNY VCG86GTS5XWB-OC GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card …sometimes does not bring the second monitor on after waking from S3 sleep. It’s still in dual screen mode as I can see a taskbar window fly to the second monitor. But I have to sleep and wake again to get it to come back on. Anyone else experience something like this? I don’t remember it ever happening before and was wondering if it could be the patch.

Dual Monitor: "No Signal"

Mar 22, 2009

I've recently bought a new rig and decided to go with Vista Enteprise 64-bit version on it. I currently have a 30" Dell monitor and a 19" Packard Bell Maestro 190W setup that I used on my previous XP rig. Now, when I try to use my PB Maestro 190" Screen on the Vista machine, I get no signal. I can detect the monitor through the ATI Catalyst program but it cant it to work. The monitor works and shows stuff when I reload the computer, but it goes "No signal" just when Vista Loads...

I have downloaded Powerstrip and another monitor program to try and force it to 1440x900 settings, but still no signal.. Even wrote my own drivers for the screen with a fixed resolution 640x) but no luck. I plugged in my LCD TV instead and it worked like a charm! So i quickly switched the cables between the second 19" monitor and the TV and bam! I got the second monitor up and running! But I had to reload the computer and I lost the output, tried several times again to repeat the procedure with plugging in the TV and then the monitor.. no luck...

Added A Second Monitor To The GeForce 7100 GS Using A DVI-VGA Adapter And For The Life Of Me Cannot Get It To Display Anything, The Monitor Is Just In Sleep Mode

Apr 23, 2010

I added a second monitor to the GeForce 7100 GS using a DVI-VGA adapter and for the life of me cannot get it to display anything, the monitor is just in sleep mode. I've got the latest driver, Windows is up to date, checked the cables, tried another adapter, tried everything but, still nothing. The second monitor shows up in the device manager and in the Nvidia control panel. It's enabled and set to extend desktops. It seems the system knows it's there because I can move the mouse over, but cannot see anything. The power light on the second monitor just flashes. I've swapped monitors over, to make sure there's not a problem with the display and it's fine. When I do that, the main monitor is then plugged in to the DVI adapter and then that one goes to sleep. Just seems whichever monitor is plugged in to the DVI-VGA adapter just doesn't want to work........
