I got a great ATI AGB card with digital output to two monitors. Every time I tried to load the drivers I got the blue screen of death. After 15 hours of muckin' around I took it back and exchanged it for an nVidia card that didn't have two outputs but I tried it using the onboard video for the old monitor and the new card for the new monitor. I didn't like it. Now I'm using a USB jobbie from GXT, and while it works (and is worth the bargain price I paid), I'm not completely satisfied. I don't really need or want to use my new monitor for logging (the old 15" will do) so I'll learn to live with it. If I want to do any of that stuff with DXB I'll just move the program to the main monitor. While it is annoying and probably unnecessary, I'll deal with it and not loose a nanosecond if sleep.
And of course you didn't know about the second monitor because I had neglected to mention it. Silly me!!! And I still can't watch a video (on-line or DVD) on my new monitor. I know there's a fix but I haven't found it. 73 Al, VE1AL -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of FireBrick Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 1:55 PM To: DXBase List Subject: RE: [Dxbase] interesting problem Ooops. I didn't know you had added the second monitor. I experienced that way back and never been able to solve it either. So I just keep DXB on the 'primary' monitor. Curious, what kind of video card? Is it a Dual port card like nVidia that I have or are you using two different video cards, one for each monitor?
