HELP!!!

My dual monitor setup (Gforce 5200) is only allowing for hte display of the
2nd monitor... not allowing me to get to a welcome screen and entering PW,
etc...

Ine Monitor is using the VGA and the 2nd is using the DVI connector on the
back of the card

HOW DO I SWITCH? I can not see any thing other than the mouse as it come in
from the non viewable screen 1

HELP!!!!

I haven't seen that happen before, but...

Go back to one monitor.

If you get a display, set the resolution down to 800x600 with a refresh
rate of 60hz.

Try again.

It may be that your primary monitor is getting a signal that it can't
deal with and to protect itself, disables.

THanks for the suggestion... actually the issue was that I can not access the
primary at all... meaning tht I can not access the start menu..as it is on
the primary display (meaning no where visible)

I eventually did fix the issue... I was able to log in to the machine
"blindly" and open the Display properties.. and after quite a few tries
(blindly) was able to grab the Display properties box and drag it over to the
monitor # 2 (visible) and disable dual monitor and re-boot... giving me one
hte monitor visible


A download of the driver from the vendor cured the issue... but did cause a
critical fault to occur - and re-boot hte machine... only happened after the
install of the drivers and has not occurred since
