hi. i've just made myself a nice new super great PC which i've designed to be great for editing videos on, therefore i've decided to use dual monitors. however it doesn't seem to be working right. i've tried several things and i think i've identified the problem but cant find a way round it.

basically the dual monitors work fine when there is no graphic driver installed but as soon as i install it, everything goes very slow and it acts like my old computer from 8 years ago!!! now, i obviously can't run the computer without the graphic driver on it as i wont be able to play 3D games and worst of all i wont be able to edit videos!!!!

here is the spec of my PC:

AMD Atlon 64 3800+ processor (2.41GHz)
2GB DDR RAM
ATi X800GT 256MB with dual DVI output (PCI-Express)
Winfast motherboard (NFaK8AC-RS-1.0)

my computer is plenty powerful enough to handle it but something has gone wrong somewhere if it doesn't work when i install the graphic drivers!!!

Hi there and welcome to PCHF

You may want to try a proprietory program like THIS

i did download that, its a great utility and works well ...until i install the graphic drivers that is!!!!

*sigh*

btw, i did a complete reinstal of windows xp and its still stuttering even though that is the only other program installed except the motherboard chipset drivers and stuff

Are you using this driver , or an other?

And is youre power supply strong enough?
