Having trouble with three-monitor setup

[kyleb]

I am having difficulty setting up my three-monitor setup (2001FP/2405FPW/2001FP - got the idea from someone on this forum as well).

I have an Nvidia GeForce 6600 in the AGP slot powering my 2405FPW (middle) and 2001FP (right) monitors, and it works just fine. I have a GeForce 5400 FX in a PCI slot that is hooked up to my other 2001FP (left) and it installed fine and the drivers are current for it.

The BIOS is not current, however, subsequent MSI updates for my board (MSI 860D Pro - dual Xeon / server board) do not show anything promising in this regard.

In the BIOS settings, I have AGP video initializing first, not PCI.

I get no picture from the left 2001FP monitor and clear picture from the middle/right monitors. My computer does take slightly longer to boot after installing the card and new drivers, but I am not sure if that means anything.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks for the help.

I know this sounds stupid, but when you right clcik on the desktop, go to properties, and click on the Settings tab, is the left hand monitor "greyed" out? Have you tried right clicking on the left hand monitor and clicking "enable"?

does your second Video card show up in Hardware Devices list?

Got it working guys - had to install new drivers and update the BIOS! Thanks
