Hi all.

Now that I've got 3 plasmas running, I've gone and bought another two for good measure ;)

I'm using the Asus 7970 Direct CUii card and I have a pile of DP-HDMI adapters and DVI to HDMI adapters.

My problem (apart from being mildly mental) is that with the 3 screens everything was fine and dandy. Now that
I've connected the last 2 screens, I can't activate them in Windows display settings. I just get the "this configuration cannot
be saved" error.

Any help you guru's can bestow would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT- Got it figured. There's a nasty little switch on the side of the vid card to enable the 5 screens:)

I'm running the same card. Could you take a picture of the switch? I didn't see a switch on the side of mine and mine worked fine with 5 screens out of the box.
