Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Second monitor disables after each reboot
Joel Fernandes   2006-08-02 02:08
Hello,

I'm facing a strange problem with multi-monitoring.

I have a Radeon 9600 with a DVI and VGA output where I have connected to 2 monitors.

I've just installed windows xp and the latest ATI drivers for my card, however, each time I make a reboot to the system or even logout from windows and login back again, the second monitor becomes disabled and I need to enable it back again.

What might be wrong?

Thank you,
Joel Fernandes

I am also experiencing this same issue. Ultamon just seems to refuse to remember my settings. I am running an ATI Radeon 9800 with the same setup one DVI and one VGA. This didn't use to happen.

Any help out there?

Got this fixed. In case you are still having problems, this may help.

I uninstalled both Ultramon and the latest ATI drivers. I then reinstalled the ATI drivers and downloaded a new copy of Ultramon from the website and installed it. Seems to be working like a charm now. It seems I was running an older version of Ultramon (ver 2.5) and maybe this will help you as well. Good luck.

Nevermind...

It didn't work.

Try switching which display is the primary... not sure if this would help or not but maybe it would. Definetly worth a try. Another thing you can consider is getting the omega drivers from omegadrivers.net instead of the ati drivers. I know I had better results with the Omega Drivers then I did with the IBM ones that came with the laptop. (ATI MOBILITY chipset)

Hey, thanks for the tip on the Omega Drivers.

If anyone else is having this problem give the drivers at this website a shot.

Seems to have worked for me anyway.
