MultiMonitor Problem

[AndyT]

You had a head crash. Thats what the clunking sound is.

I run SP2 with XP and I'm using pre-DX10 video drivers.
What video card are you using?

[BHawthorne]

SP2 won't load without a very current video driver that can handel DX10 even though I don't have VISTA. Crazy!

If it's a current XP driver, it can't handle DX10. DX10 is Vista only. Not sure what you mean by this.

I didn't think DX10 worked with XP. I'm using a GeForce 6600 AGP card from XFX with 256mb and 2 GeForce 6200 PCI cards from EVGA, one with 512 the other with 256. I'm slowly working my way through the various drivers (forceware from Nvidia) to find one that won't lock up my system. Tommorow I will take the old HD and see what can be done to retrieve the info and transfer it to a new drive. I would really hate to lose all my FSUIPC mapping for the ERJ as well as a bunch of custom scenery for various airports that I use. One being a VERY extensive version of KELM with surrounding buldings and roads. The Arnot Mall and the now old Wal-Mart,the extended runway and new taxiways to support it as well as the big mueseum and hangers.

The problem about DX10 is now moot. I had to build a new computer from the ground up. Specs:
ASUS P5K-E MoBoard FSB1066 capable
Intel QuadCore 2.4Ghx
2gb Ram
650GB Hard drive SATA
PCIE 8800GT
PCIE 8600 GTS
PCI 6200
XP of course sees all the monitors no problem.
Ok now the fun part, FSX "sees" all 5 of the monitor connections in the Settings/Display
FS8 "sees" all 5 monitors
FS9 still only "sees" 4
It sees 2 connections on the 8800, only 1 of the 2 connections on the 8600 and the 1 on the 6200. However I can atill move all the windows to the proper screens in window mode. But go to full screen and I lose one from the 8600.
Is there a limitation built in to FS9 that nobody talks about?
BAFFELED,WOOZY, and FRUSTRATED.
On the good side using FS9 with all the sliders maxed and UT, FE, GE, UTraffic, MegaScenery I'm getting 32FPS with absoultly no blurries or stutters.
