I am perplexed

A couple of questions, what video card? And are you using an RF box for the dual display? (meaning are you running straight from the vid card to the second display or s-video in to an rf box then to the display from there)

ATI Radeon 9200 Video Card

I run straight to the singers display, but run through an RF box to any additional TV's at the club.

Could be maybe just a flaky video card, I guess. Not sure about bad wires or anything.

[DJYale]

reason I asked about the RF box was the fact that I have 2 of them, same model, identical.

One doesn't care what order you hook things up. (i.e. turn the computer on, plur it in to the box and you're set)

Other won't work with dual display unless everything is hooked up and ready before the computer is turned on.

I GUESS YOU CAN THANK RADIO SHACK FOR THAT !!

And that's exactly what they are too ...

Make sure that you have the latest drivers from ATI. You can download them from: http://www.ati.com/home/online/CatalystXPdriver.html

I am at a loss as to what would cause this to happen. It has to be some setting in the system that is being changed, somehow.

I do have the latest drivers, I believe. The driver version is dated 11/30/04, I think.

I downloaded those a couple of weeks ago when I reloaded everything.

I honestly don't believe that I have a bad card.

I do think that it might be something that is playing with the system registry, which is something that Bryan eluded to when I brought up this problem last time.

But, how to track it down, I have no idea.
