| Post subject: | Cannot activate 3rd monitor - need help |
CCC (Version 2011.1025.2152.37348) doesn't let me activate my third monitor. It is detected an the tooltip says "To enable this display right click and select desired desktop mode", but right-clicking doesn't do anything. When I deactivate one of two running monitors, the third one can be activated, so that I can choose any combination of two of the three monitors. Additional Problem is, that when I choose a resolution of 1920x1080 I have black borders around my desktop (not whole screen is used) 1680x1050 is no problem. Setup is: Windows XP 32Bit SP3 HD5770 Flex 3x AOC2434PW (connected via DVI/DVI/HDMI) - actual driver installed (It is NOT an active adapter problem; the Flex card can handle three connections without needing an active adapter) The combination of the GPU and the monitors worked well under Win7, so that I assume that it is an OS Problem. AMD driver checker confirms actual version of CCC. Any Ideas? |

I have no words... Is there any good reason to use Windows XP on nowdays, OS from 2001? I'm always do self-trolling when I see "XP" letters. It's almost 2012 and soon will be a Windows 8 and you still can't decide which OS to use? And you answered your questions yourself - Works under Windows 7 and don't under XP, it's obvious to decide what to do, no? |

I see many words..... :onethumb It's just an old secondary system with a preinstalled XP. The things it should do, it does properly except for controlling three monitors. In the meantime I found out that XP really only can control two monitors per graphics card.; naughty little OS! J) So, either I stick with two monitors for this system or I upgrade. Or any other ideas? |
