Default Cannot get 2nd Monitor working

I have to Nvida GEforce 8500GT Cards, and I have two SyncMaster 2232BW screens each connected to the DVI on each card (that's one syncmaster each).

Operating system is vista 32bit. The system worked before I re-installed Vista 32-bit. The reason I installed it was due to a load of "Pipe cannot run command" messages.

Since re-installation I have not been able to get Nvidia Control panel to see both Monitors at the same time.

Device Manager recognises both SyncMasters, with the valid drivers (version 3.0.0.0) which I have installed against each entry in device manager. And both Graphics Cards are visible with their respenctive card driver version at 7.15.11.7519, 16/5/2008.

both Nvidia Cards and Syncmaster Monitors are enabled in Device Manager. SLI is not enabled.

Both Monitors definately work.

Is there anything else I can check before I return it back to Comet to check.

The PC by the way is an PC EXTREME GT (STORE PC). bought in Comet, a few months ago.

Any help on how to resolve this issue is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Mike.
