Forums -> Multiple monitors -> multi monitor hang up in Win2K
Jerry Perlstein   2001-04-25 06:41
I have set up a 3 monitor system under Win 2K as indicated below which has the following problem:
If an open window is dragged from the primary to either of the secondary monitors,the system will hang(no keyboard,no mouse)if the window is resized. If the window is not resized, it works okay. The worst problem occurs with Netscape 4.77,
occasionally with IE 5.5. I have not tried any games except the simple ones thatcame with Win2K. These seem to work okay. The bios is 3/07/2001 version and I have installed all the AGP patches suggested at Fullon3D as well as the 4.29 Via
drivers. I also see this problem with only two video boards installed(AGP and 1 PCI in any slot) and all other boards removed including disabling the sound. I don't know if this is an ATI problem, or a VIA problem or a Win2K problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
