I have an Nvidia Quadro NVS 450 video card for my 4 monitors, running on WinXP pro.
I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 processor w/ 2g Ram.
I have a variety of problems and can't figure out if a card problem, SW conflicts or what.
When I bring the machine up in the morning, monitor 1 doesn't come up for 2-3 reboots.
Once monitor 1 comes up the other 3 usually follow, but many times monitor 3 changes resolution and acts like a larger monitor : when I drag the mouse across to get to the last monitor it scolls over like the screen is wider and longer than the 20" screen size.
I don't know how to fix this so I have to keep rebooting until the size is correct. The dispay properties say it is the same resolution as the others at 1280 by 1024.
Once that is fixed, the monitors are usually mixed, so in Display Props, settings, I have to move Mon4 between Mon1 and 2 to fix the order.
Then at times during the day one of the monitors will go black and in the display properties, I have to recheck the box " Extend Win desktop to this monitor" Then it usually comes back. But sometimes I have to reorder the monitors again.
A couple of weeks ago mon2 was flickering alot, so I changed it out thinking the monitor might be going bad. So I traded monitors with another dual mon pc and the flickering stopped. However that monitor works just fine on the other pc with no issues.
Then today Mon 2 blacked out and can't seem to bring it back. Disp Props shows it as being active, Device Mgr shows it is working properly, but no picture. The mon light is also green, it usally turns orange when taken off line.
Sorry for the long note - I wanted to describe all the problems.
Anyone out there with experience in 4 monitor cards ??
Thanks
