More info?)
Hey i figured out the problem, at least it worked for me. Im running 2
monitors, so i disabled one of them and now it works. But that pisses me off
(excuse my langauge) because it was working fine with 2 monitors for close to
a year now and now thanx to microshaft's F****D up Winblows updates 2
monitors wont work, even after a removal of the updates and a system restore
to a week before this happened. Hopefully the next windows will work better
then xp, not likely though.
good luck
