I'm running Vista on bootcamp but can't get the second monitor to work? It began working automatically on the Mac OS but not sure why it won't with Vista.

I've spent a while trying to research the problem but don't understand all the jargon regarding video cards and drivers etc!!! Help!!

Do you see both monitors in Control Panel > Personalization > Display Settings?

Hi Christian.

Yes I can see both monitors. When I click 'identify monitors' only "1" comes up and the 2nd screen remains blank (in sleep mode).

On start-up of vista, the 2nd screen comes on briefly to show the loading process but then suddenly goes back to sleep.

As I said before, the 2nd monitor is working perfectly in mac mode so I'd assume everything is connected

What happens if you select the second monitor and click on 'Extend the desktop onto this monitor'?

The 2nd monitor icon turns blue like it has become active.

I've also tried re-installing the apple drivers that I used for bootcamp but that hasn't worked either

Looks like it should work fine, unfortunately I don't know what the problem might be.
