    Can you explain exactly what is happening? Is nothing showing up on the monitor at all? Does Vista see the monitor? Which drivers are you running? The more details you can give the better.

    I have two PCIE X1650 cards running in the system. On the first PCIE slot I have the X1650 512mb running two 19" Doublesight monitors, (Vista sees these monitors and video card) this is working properly. On the second PCIE slot I have the other X1650 card running another two doublesight monitors. Vista recognizes the card in the device manager, but only outputs images to one monitor. It seems that the second DVI output on the card is not being initialized.

    It was solved... after all this troubleshooting, it boiled down to two monitors that were bad! What are the chances! I will post some screen shots of it soon, I love having 4
