Hello everyone!
I've recently bought a new rig and decided to go with Vista Enteprise 64-bit version on it.
I currently have a 30" Dell monitor and a 19" Packard Bell Maestro 190W setup that I used on my previous XP rig.
Now, when I try to use my PB Maestro 190" Screen on the Vista machine, I get no signal. I can detect the monitor through the ATI Catalyst program but it cant it to work.
The monitor works and shows stuff when I reload the computer, but it goes "No signal" just when Vista Loads...
I have downloaded Powerstrip and another monitor program to try and force it to 1440x900 settings, but still no signal.. Even wrote my own drivers for the screen with a fixed resolution 640x) but no luck.
I plugged in my LCD TV instead and it worked like a charm! So i quickly switched the cables between the second 19" monitor and the TV and bam! I got the second monitor up and running!
But I had to reload the computer and I lost the output, tried several times again to repeat the procedure with plugging in the TV and then the monitor.. no luck...
The only thing I havent tried yet is to use a VGA cable instead of the DVI one..
I'm running the lastest ATI drivers (9.3)..
Just find it strange that it can detect the screen, just not send the video signals to it..
Vista installs the second monitor as a "generic pnp monitor".. And I cant seem to find any drivers on this packard bell monitor on the internet.
Anyone got a good advice to me to try? Is the screen that old that Vista cant support it even? sounds strange but..
I'd gladly take any tip you have guys and girls!
Thank you
