3 Monitors 2 DVI, 1 DisplayPort w/ Active adapter Still won't work.

So, after 3 weeks of googling, getting a passive adapter, returning it. Then buying an active adapter. My three monitors still won't work together.
One is an Asus VH222 and one Samsung Syncmaster 740bx on each side of the Asus.
The Samsungs are both hooked up through DVI. While the Asus is DisplayPort actively converted to HDMI.
I am running an XFX HD Radeon 6770, and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
At first I went through the desktop properties, it said "Can't save settings" when I extended all three monitors.
I then went to CCC (Catalyst Control Center). It said that I had to disable a display to have another one. So still a no go. At this time I am running 11.2 CCC.
I updated CCC to 13.4. (latest)
Did everything again with 13.4. Same issues.

EDIT* Forgot the link for the adapter.

And where in that link does it say active?

I bought two of the mDP to DVI adapters for my setup. The cheapest I could find them was $25 each. Just looking at the price you have another passive one.

I don't know if that is an active adapter or not. For $7, I'd doubt it or it's quality. Look for ones that are AMD certified instead.

I assumed it was active, since most google answers say that if it's a cable it's always passive.
So I found this, an adapter.
I assumed this was the "Active" part of it.
"- Support conversation from DisplayPort signal to DVI signal"

EDIT*
So this one is 100% Active right?

The one you linked, most of the reviews say it works great for them for 3 displays. You may run into the odd time where it doesn't work and that's usually more whoever made your card rather than AMD's fault as they didn't follow something correctly. Usually though the adapter has to say active to be considered active and will work.

Yes. The one from Amazon says it's active.
