Multiple monitors problem
I'm running Win7 Pro and having trouble getting the 2nd monitor recognized by the OS.
The system specs are:
Asus P5GDC-V motherboard w/ a Pentium 4 3.2GHz processor (and integrated graphics)
2GB RAM
XFX nVidia 7900GS w/ 256MB memory w/ 2 x DVI
2 x Dell 2407wfb monitors (1900 x 1200 resolution)
I've updated the drivers to the latest nVidia drivers. The OS simply will not recognize the second monitor. I've tried the nVidia control panel and it's "Rigorous detection" as well as Win 7's own Display Properties. The graphics card is recognized as Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM) by Win7. I've tried reinstalling the drivers.
I've also tried 3 different monitors (as the second monitor) and swapped cables. Everything works fine on it's own.
The BIOS only has an option for "Primary Video". I have that set to PCI-E/PCI.
Is this setup just not capable of running dual monitors? Something else I should try?
Thanks for the help.
