Dual monitors acting up
This is a Pentium 4 running ATI Radeon 9550 card with VGA and DVI outputs to Acer LCD monitors set to Extend Desktop. Only BIOS display settings are for AGP card and card aperture at spec 256mb where it's set. Also this is a 9 year old Best Buy premium house build VPR Matrix which has not run dual monitors before.
The dual monitor setup will not stablize, losing the DVI monitor after it suspends, or faiing to start the DVI monitor no matter which is set as Main, drivers updated, using full software or not, resolutions synchronized, etc.
To get the DVI connected monitor to start requires Logging Off and/or Restarting, unplugging one or the other, fiddling with both for awhile. Then it is stable until next suspend or shutdown.
I don't have enough experience with dual monitors to know what else to try.
