Problems installing second monitor on ATI 1900GT
Sorry for posting here but the Vista group could not help me. I have Vista
Home premium with all updates and ATI Radeon 1900 with the latest drivers I am trying to install a second LCD monitor (the first monitor is a Sony 23 inch and the second is a Getaway 22 inch) and both monitors are connected to the DVI ports on the card when I try to change settings on the monitors I get the following error: "The currently selected display driver can not be used. It was written for a previous version of Windows, and is no longer compatible with this version of Windows. The system has been started using the default VGA driver" I have the latest ATI driver/software installed (8.1) plus I tried uninstalling the driver, cleaning with Driver Cleaner Pro in safe mode and reinstalling however the error remains. In the catalyst control panel there is nothing I can change to help with this issue. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks |

The system worked perfectly fine with your X1900 series card and the Sony LCD? Are you sure you downloaded and installed the correct version of the 8.1's? Have you installed the RC of SP1 for Vista on this box at any point? |

Thanks for the response yes, this is the only new item installed. No
problems prior and when I disconnect it the Sony is perfect as before. I have not installed the SP1 waiting for the official release nor any new programs. If this helps any Device Manager sees the Gateway as a generic PnP monitor however sees the Sony as Sony. Thanks "Augustus" wrote in message news:qRKrj.7560$FO1.1077@edtnps82...
