| I've had a hell of a job getting my 2nd monitor to work after installing Vista.
Finally found a solution. I ended up buying an ATI FireMV card to replace my nVidia (which I thought was the problem with crappy drivers for Vista).
I ended up with the same problem... couldn't detect my 2nd monitor even with the latest ATI drivers.
Fixed it by using a DVI to VGA converter and plugging in a VGA cable into my 2nd monitor and bingo! the bugger was detected.
Vista isn't as bad as I thought.. my work machine seems to be running faster than it was with XP and the interface is nice. The Pork loads up a lot quicker too… probably down to a fresh install of the browser without all those plugins you tend to accumulate over a period of time.
A few issues I had with Vista was all the tweaks and patches I had to figure out for my development software but after a couple of days banging my head I've finally got everything set up.
Figured I post this because I couldn't find jack about this problem searching the net. Not sure if this would fix the issue I had with my old nVidia card but I'm not swapping back to test.. lol

| | | | I got Vista about a month back...and so far I really like

| | | | Vista was foisted upon me by my employer and I absolutely hate it. It's slow, unwieldy and the memory management in it particularly sucks.
Though I didn't have a problem with my dual widescreens though and both use DVI connections to a pair of 8800s.---------------
Trust me, most of the names I have been called you can't translate in any language. They're not even real words so much as they're a succesion of violent images.

| | | | | Hey Cradz, at least you got Vista to work on your computer. I did everything the advisor told me too and my Vista would not install. I am so tempted to move to Macs. lol |

Aye, it wouldn't allow me to do an upgrade so I had to do a fresh install and I had to fiddle with a few drivers to get it to work.
It's certainly not an upgrade you should do if you have an older computer.
I won't be upgrading my home computers just yet as I'm sure my various online games will stop working if I do.. lol
