I'm having an issue with an old x850xt I have installed in my second pc which runs on the TV in my bedroom.
For some reason it won't show the secondary card within Win 7.
Allow me to clarify somewhat.
A week ago I noticed that running a film in vlc forced Aero to switch off so I went and tried to find a resolution.
It was suggested to do a clean install of the Catalyst software which I did.
Oh dear, loss of second monitor all together. Won't even display in bootup and first monitor is now running in 16 colour mode only.
Hmm, so i do a driver update and get VGA adapter in DevMan, not good.
I try another fresh install.
When I clean out all of the graphics drivers from windows and do a restart the "second" card shows in Device Manager. WooHoo!
That done, I do an install of the legacy drivers contained within 9.11 of the Catalyst suite, restart and everything looks good but no second card is shown again!
Device Manager won't show it any longer and ccc won't either.
Now when I run Speccy it shows both gpu's but states that the crossfire is disabled and I can't find any reference to it within CCC so can't activate it.
How can I solve this issue before I pull all of my hair out?
