Okay I am trying to run a dual monitor setup, one off the CRT port other off the DVI. Well I am not very successful in this venture. The dual display works great with the TV but the software doesn't even see the second monitor connected through the DVI port. So what I am wondering is if there is an option to use it or if something is messed up on the card. Spec: Leadtek K7NCR18D nForce 2 Mobo, Built by ATI 9800 Pro 128MB vid card on 3.6's, I think that is all that should be needed to know, if not just ask.

I'd try to use just the dvi port by itself. that way it'll show as primary and HAVE to load. if it doesn't, bad card.

well if I only have the DVI connected it will display everything up untill I get into windows then it will stop. Also if I don't have the drivers installed windows shows up on both monitors, so the output seems to be there just not after drivers are installed.

I think you have a bad card. It happens to me once with the Radeon 9700 PRO. RMA it.
