Hello

I have a Pentium E2200 CPU, a ATI Radeon HD 5700 graphics card and a Intel DB43LD Motherboard

I have dual boot system between Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. I have no problem with 3 monitors in Linux(Ubuntu) but I can only get 2 monitors to work in windows 7

I have almost given up with the monitors not working in windows.

Can anyone explain why it works in linux but not on windows 7

and if there is a solution please let me know.

Scott

Newest catalyst drivers? And I do have to ask, that it is windows7. XP and vista did not support 2+ monitors from the same GPU.

Right click on your desktop and select "AMD Vision Engine Control Center." It should be there if you have the AMD drivers installed!
