| graphics driver problem (dual monitor system) hi everybody, i face a strange behavior and cannot solve it. I recently got a new tft monitor (samsung 225bw) and wanted to use it together with my old one (benq fp937). I have an asus en9750 gt graphics card under win xp sp2. Everything worked fine after the first boot with the new monitor - the nvidia driver recognized a 2nd monitor and let me set it up (on with 1680x1050 and the other one with 1280x1024). After the next reboot my resolution was set back to 640x480 and 4bit colors (on both monitors) and only mirroring on both monitors. Selecting the tab on the display properties it said: "The currently selected graphics display driver can not be used. It was written for a earlier version of windows. The system has been started using the default VGA driver ... bla bla bla" I reinstalled the newest forceware driver - rebooted - and it worked again, until the next reboot - same story. Everything set back to 640x480 and the same message on the display tab. That's the cycle: i can use both monitors - as inteded - right after i reinstalled the nvidia driver (and the necessary reboot) but it stops working after an additional reboot. By the way - something seems to have messed up my graphics driver thing - because using only the old monitor now causes the same behavior. Pleas someone out there help me - i have absolutley no idea what causes this behavior. greetinx and thanx dew |
