Hi,

Just doublechecking, you are using the same resolution and refresh rate on that monitor that doesn't work than before, right? Also, are you using the same drivers? What version of Direct X do you have, same as before as well? If there were any chipset drivers for your motherboard, did you install those? Lastly, also doublecheck in the bios for any settings pertaining to video, and make sure they are set right. Let me know what you can come up with and HTH.

no, i am not using the same frequency and resolution, the older one can not handle that, it used to work, but i had to do a reinstall of windows, i seem to recall( and i might be wrong with this) that what i need to do is change the frequency of the seond monitor, but i can not figure out where i need to do that.

for future refference, i foound the sollution,
apperantly the best thing to do is not download the "detonator" driver but download the nvidia driverpack, there there is a driver that sopports twinview, this enable's you to set different monitors
