Anyone had this one come up before? Have a 660gt pcie paired with a 5500 pci... get windows to load both up but the third monitor (pci card) turns on but displays this warning: (while showing static "this is 85hz override, change computer display to 1280x 1024 60hz" The this is, i cant see the 3rd monitor int the setting dialogue boz nor can I change anything do to with its settings.

of course that would be the logical thing to do, but I cant get to any of those settings. The video setting dialogue box does not show the thrid monitor at all. I have tried every possible sequence of installation and three dif drivers... all i getin the third monitor is static. If i change the pci to be first in the bios, the pcie card will not work due to lack of resources (code 12) and yet I cant seem to get around this issue either. I imagine its a very simple solution that is just completely over my head right now.

Install the latest BIOS on your motherboard, and let us know if that helps. No sense in checking anything else until your BIOS is current, and it only takes a few minutes to download and install. You'd be surprised (or maybe you wouldn't) at how many hours people (especially computer techs) waste in troubleshooting, when a simple BIOS update is all that's needed.
Checking that you have the latest BIOS should always be near the top of your troubleshooting checklist. And if you're installing a new piece of advanced hardware (like a new video card), or a new OS, you should make sure your BIOS is up to date first.
Of course, you might have already done that. In that case, ignore my post. :-)
