    Recently put a new GFX card in, now cant use dual monitor set up


    Hi all

    New to these forums and " self help " with my PC..


    As stated above i have recently installed a new GFX , radeon 6450. Now I cant get the dual monitors to work side by side. Ive browsed these pages this evening, tried all I can to resolve the problem including stripping all relative parts , cleaning, & reassembling, but to no avail


    Is there anyone who can advise me please?

    OS is XP as a matter of interest

    Many thanks
