I've read the other topics with similar titles and searched the net for weeks an end. Eventually giving up for a while and now I really want to fix this stupid problem.

I'm using an MSI Laptop running Vista with an Nvidia 6600 Graphics card.
My second monitor worked for months when I got it flawlessly. For some reason it decided to stop working after I formatted and it's never worked since. I've reformatted today just to try that out as a last resort and nothing will fix the **** problem as far as I can tell.

The second monitor flicks on every 10-15 seconds then straight off, I can see the wallpaper and any window I drag over for the half second that it flicks on for but apart from that I can't seem to keep a static image on the screen.

If anyone can think of anything that might fix it please let me know =\

Welcome to PCHF.

Give this a try...

Open your Device Manager
click on View ... Show hidden devices

Click on and Delete (with the Delete key) any devices that have a ? or ! in front of them.
If the Device Manager has an "Other" device category, open it and Delete any devices in the "Other" category.
Now, reboot.

The reboot will force Windows to refind the deleted devices and hopefully see them for what they are.
After rebooting, give Windows time to locate and properly install the deleted devices.

Go to the Device Manager and verify that all your devices are listed correctly.

Thanks for the tip, though I have thought of that before. I tried it again just now but there are now devices with a ! or ? ... lol
Any other ideas? =]

Give this a try... ForceWare Release 169

I've tried a few drivers and stuff like that from Nvidia, and as per usual it says;

'The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware setup. Setup will now exit.'

And that it does.
