Hi, I have a problem with my pc.
The onboard adapter is an ATI Radeon x1250 and the second adapter is an ATI HD2400. When I connect 4 monitor, everytime I shut down or restart my pc I loose all my settings. The second monitor is always disabled and put at the left side of my primary monitor. I installed catalyst 9.1 drvers and the pc is a Lenovo Thinkcentre A61 9143-CTO.

Have you got any suggestion,please?
Thank you in advanced for your help.

Hello micm74 and welcome.

Pretty cool setup with 4 monitors. :)

As for the problem, it may be cause by having two different video cards installed in your PC.

Hi, when I baught my desktop I asked for a pc with 4 monitors and IBM found this solution. I really don't think it's a problem of the adapters.
I can set all my monitors, I work with them. It's enough a restart or a shut down and all my settings are loose. I find all my icons but in the wrong position.

Thank you for all.

Have you tried different drivers?

I've never had any problems like this running my 4 monitors.

What do you mean its not a problem with adapters? I still think that it could be a problem with runnin two different Video cards...

I mean that IBM sold me this pc and I don't think they sold me a pc not tested for 4 monitor. I ask them for a pc with 4 monitor. I believe....

I try a lot of different drivers but same problem.

What do you mean about permission on the registry?
