i need some help. i just got a second graphics card, 8800gt and loaded it. it works fine, getting some higher FPS on a game, but i'm unable to get 4 monitors to show up in display properties. is there something that i'm not doing right? new drivers? or what?

if you're running the cards with SLI enabled then you can only use one monitor at a time

It sounds like you set them up to use SLI. After you disable sli or remove the bridge, you'll be able to use 3 monitors.
