GF4 twin monitors Win 2K
Hi,

I have a Leadtek GF4 A250 with two monitors connected a 20" Sony CRT and an NEX 1810 LCD (native res 1280x1024), one via the standard VGA connector, one connected to the DVI port via the supplied converter. I've tried swapping them round.

Windows 2000 only sees one monitor (ie, in Display Properties | Settings | Advanced).

I can get dual monitor support via nView, it works fine in 'clone' mode or in vertical (1280x2048), but if I try to work horizontally they will only work at a lower resolution, if I try to run them at 2560x1024 one or other switches off - what going wrong?

Just upgraded to XP - that's solved it!

XP handles that just fine but if you go back to Win2K there is a box you need to check. It is in the advanced display somewhere but once you check it then it works just like XP.
