Hi
Looking for ideas on my 4 monitor system. I have an Nvidia Quadro NVS 450 on an XP machine.

One of the monitors displays a default monitor when if should display a plug and play. Although I set the resolution the same on all 4, the actual res on the default monitor is different.

Now the biggest problem is that it is intermitent. I can del the default monitors in device mgr - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't

Any ideas ??

Thanks
Lotus

ahhh thanks - I will play with that later. It only comes up on Monitor 4 - but have not done any troubleshooting by switching cables at card position or monitors.

I will give that a try later.

Thanks

Hello
I am just getting back to this issue. I had other priorities for awhile, and at the time, it was working - if I restart enough times - I can get all 4 monitors to work as a plug and play.

I switched cables between 2 and 4 and the resolution did not change from the 4th(right most monitor). IE the same monitor is affected when switching cables.

Before I restarted the system I uninstallled all the monitors from device mgr.

Upon restarting it loads 3 plug and play monitors and 4 default monitors.

Thanks
