| 428173 | 2006-02-07 23:42:00 | hi. i've just made myself a nice new super great PC which i've designed to be great for editing videos on, therefore i've decided to use dual monitors. however it doesn't seem to be working right. i've tried several things and i think i've identified the problem but cant find a way round it. basically the dual monitors work fine when there is no graphic driver installed but as soon as i install it, everything goes very slow and it acts like my old computer from 8 years ago!!! now, i obviously can't run the computer without the graphic driver on it as i wont be able to play 3D games and worst of all i wont be able to edit videos!!!! here is the spec of my PC: AMD Atlon 64 3800+ processor (2.41GHz) 2GB DDR RAM ATi X800GT 256MB with dual DVI output (PCI-Express) Winfast motherboard (NFaK8AC-RS-1.0) Windows XP SP2 my computer is plenty powerful enough to handle it but something has gone wrong somewhere if it doesn't work when i install the graphic drivers!!! |

| 428175 | 2006-02-08 01:44:00 | yep, tried that, didn't work. i've just done a complete reinstall of Windows XP keeping both monitors connected and on for the entire time. it was displayng the sma eon both screens until i installed the graphics drivers and restarted, and its still stuttering :( | weebit (9771) | ||

| 428177 | 2006-02-08 03:34:00 | I agree, it is the graphics card by the sounds of it, I have a 7800GTX and that runs 2 mons fine. Get nVidia :p |
