NX7600GT Diamond Plus - Dual Monitor Problem

Hi Folks
I have the above card on XP SP3 running the latest nvidia drivers - never had MSI drivers on this installation.  Both monitors have the correct drivers installed.
I just bought a lovely 24" HDMI monitor and was hoping to have it running with my existing DVI LCD monitor.
The 24" is connected by the HDMI cable, 19" LCD is on the DVI connection.
Thing is I cannot get an extended desktop option (I presume this is Dualview in nVidia speak).  It just doesn't exist for me!  The only thing I can manage is a Clone view, or single display.
I've tried running the dual display wizard and setting to force TV detection thing, but nothing seems to give me the extend desktop or dualview option.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please.  I've had a search of these forums and the net and I can't find anyone having the same problems!
Thanks for any help
Balders
edit...Sorry for stating the bleeding obvious, but for anyone who doesn't know (it's pretty old) this is the card with only one DVI output and one HDMI output.

Well!
Just to let you know I did exactly the same thing as I did last night, except this time it worked!
God knows!  Must have been one of them there gremlins!

  • Losing signal to TV – NX7600GT Diamond Plus

    I hope somebody in here can help me.
    I got my new GFX a month ago, which is a NX7600GT Diamond Plus – chosen because it has a HDMI port.
    Now I’m trying to get card working with both my monitor and TV, which is not going according to plans. I’m using the newest NVIDIA driver for Vista Home Premium that has found my TV ones, but still no picture on the TV. When trying again I can’t get NVIDIA to find my TV at all.
    Actual it can get the TV to show the boot of the computer, but when Windows takes over the TV loses the signal.
    Why can’t the TV be found and why can it not display the signal from the GFX card?
    Looking forward hearing from you.
    JB:-)

    Does it work when using XP?
    Could be a Vista problem.
    The machine I'm using now is newly build, and have nothing else then Vista installed on it - so no Win XP try.
    Anyway it can not be Vista, because MSI has certified the card to Vista, so it have to be something else.

  • NX7600GT Diamond Plus Questions

    Hey Everyone,
      My questions today are about the  NX7600GT Diamond Plus video card. I am thinking about building a Home Theater PC and I was looking at the MSI 7600GT Diamond Plus card, because of the HDMI port.  Does this port besides carrying video carry sound as well? if so what kind is it, 2 CH, Digital, etc.? If it doesn't any recommends on cards that will carry very good sound quality out?  Also, are there any benefits to having two of these cards instead of one, other then having two 7600 GTs for playing games?  Finally, if I play a DVD on my computer(which is encrypted) and run the HDMI cable from the card to a DVD player/recorder, will I be able to record the movie or will copyright bs problems occur?  Sry for all the noob questions, but I am new to the HTPC arena.
    Thanks
     

    Hello
    I currently own this card and might be able to answer your questions.
    This card will send digital S/PDIF sound through the hdmi port if your motherboard or sound card has spdif cababilities.  This can be done one of two ways.  Option A:  If you have an internal header off of your mobo/soundcard you can use the supplied internal spdif cable.  Option B:  If you don't have an internal header (I don't and use this method) you can use the supplied RCA pass-through cable conecting the RCA end to your spdif out and the other end to the VGA.  Aside from being able to SLI them and increase the performance of some programs there is no advantage to having two as you will only be able to use the ports on one.
    I'm not entirely sure about being able to copy a movie.  I wasn't aware that there were any DVD recorders with HDMI inputs on the market.  If you have a standard definition DVD (not Blue-ray or HD-DVD) you probably shouldn't run into any copyright problems.  However I've found that many DVDs will refuse to play on my computer if a TV out port is activated, you may or may not run into this with the HDMI port.  This isn't card specific, from talking with tech support this is apparently present on all nvidia 7-series cards.
    Overall I was really impressed with how this card handled the digital sound, but was not impressed with the quality of the HDMI video signal.  The signal was being overscanned, and looked horrible in comparison to the analogue signal from my card.  This is really no surprise considering this is the first ever HDMI card.  Theres always going to be bugs at first.  If you're planning on building an HTPC I would suggest using the plain old RGB (15 pin analogue) if your HDTV has the input (most do).  You won't run into any DRM restrictions using this method and the quality difference (versus DVI) is hardly, if at all, noticable on today's HDTVs and projectors.

  • M93p dual monitor problems; monitor turns off and cannot be turned on again

    Hi,
    we have multiple M93p tiny computers causing problems in dual monitor setup (VGA / Displayport->DVI). Our users (already >5)  keep telling us, they leave their workplace, return, then DVI attached monitor if off and they do not find a way to turn it on. This is true; the only workaround that has been found by our users is to bring Win7/32bit into standby mode and awaking it again.
    Needless to say, we turned all windows energy saving options off (computer standby/hibernate, monitor turn off). Still the problem appears.
    Maybe there is something wrong with DVI power/DVI signal?
    - Monitor independent, as far as I can see
    - Independent from Windows energy saving modes
    - BIOS updates did not help
    [todo]: Try Intel/(AMD?) drivers, let users test.
    I haven't seen exactly when the monitor turns off because it is reported by users. I had a testing machine, but was not able to reproduce.

  • NX7600GT Diamond Plus and fan speed with Dual Core Center

    I just got a NX 7600GT Diamond Plus for my HTPC. I noted that Riva Tuner and other utilities are not able to control the fan speed of the video card. The only way one can control the fan speed is via Dual Core Center and 3D Core Cell. The problem is that the default setting for fan speed on Dual Core Center is too high and clearly audible. How can I get Dual Core Center to start with user defined presets during windows start-up/boot-up ?
    What I want to do is to put the fan into 'SILENT' mode automatically during Dual Core Center start-up. Any ideas / suggestions ?

    Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 17-January-07, 00:44:11
    well no need to edit manually, MSI provided everythink in easy way from core center.
    select advanced mode, create your custom profile pickup your desired settings,(setup maximum FAN RPM via buttons) and save it to custom profile.
    suggest you to read help section from program.
    So the custom profile is automatically loaded every time DualCoreCenter starts up ? Maybe there is something wrong with my install of DCC, I cannot get it to load custom profiles automatically upon startup. I can save the changes to say "User Profile 1" but the profile active on startup always is the "default" profile ...

  • TV@nywhere Dual Monitor Problem

    I have the regular TV@nywhere card.. Has anyone else had this problem?
    I have a dual monitor setup (extended desktop) on an ATI 9000 pro.. At some point over the last few months I began having problems dragging the WinDVR (player) window from one monitor to the other, resulting in the WinDVR process hanging, or an insta-crash of my system. It used to work fine...
    I am assuming it might have something to do with one of 30 or so ATI patches that I installed since the last driver update from MSI. On a positive note, with the newest ati patch, the computer doesn't crash anymore, but the app still hangs (except for the audio which will NOT stop, lol)
    MSI KT4V-L
    Athon XP 2100+
    512 MB pc2100
    ATI 9000 Pro
    MSI TV@nywhere
    WinXP Sp1a

    Lets start from the bottom and work up. Have you eliminated the cable & splitter hookup as the source of the problem by connecting to a TV? I had a problem similar to that when I first installed my TV@Plus and I had to remove/re-install the software and get a new cable & splitter before I could get it work.. No you don't need to use RG6. It does not hurt to have better but it's not a requirement.

    i want to ask, how to dual monitor with this card? the second DVI is not work.. i have the benq GL950 with VGA connector and i use VGA to DVI-I(single link) - ( this is main the display), and the second one is acer x173w, and it has VGA connector too.. then i bought DVI-I(dual link) connector for the acer x173w, so i place benq GL950 with on the top slot, and the acer x173w on the second DVI slot. But the second monitor is no signal, and i tried to detect the monitors on windows 7 64bit, but windows cant detect it.. and the problem is still same.. no signal, and the screen goes blank after it. i have tried reinstall driver but the problm is still same.. help me please.. im so stressed with this.. 

    If you could find a real ADC to DVI-I adapter, it would work, but the Dr. Botts ADC to DVI adapter
    <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Dr%2E%20Bott/ADCDVII/>
    will not work with a DVI to VGA adapter. It does have a dual-link DVI-I connector, but the pins for analog video (and dual link) do not connect to anything. They use this connector because some non-Apple digital displays come with DVI-I and/or dual-link DVI plugs, when they only need DVI-D signals. The Dr; Botts adapter and (all others that I have seen) are only ADC to DVI-D. Even if they connect the dual-link pins from the ADC to the DVI connector, the result will be single-link DVI-D, since no ADC cards provide dual-link signals. There is no reason (other than cost) why an adapter couldn't connect the analog video signals from ADC to a DVI-I connector, but I don't know of any that do.
    From their web-page:
    "DVI Extractor II makes an ADC-compatible display out of virtually any third-party flat panel display"
    Note they say "flat panel".
    You need an ADC to VGA adapter. They are listed from $40 to $150. Still less than a compatible replacement graphics card, although you can get a card faster than you current one, if you pay enough.

    I know this board can reach 300+ by reviews by Tom's Hardware. But I was wondering how I could get my FSB up there? I can't seem to get past the hurtle at 270. Anything above this will make the system fail to start up and I have to clear the BIOS again.
    I lowered the HT to the equivalent of 3X, and CPU Multiplier to 8X using a venice core 3500+. I even tried adding voltage to the HT. I'm wondering if I'm missing something in this equation that stops me from getting 300+ FSB? The overclockable items are too many and unexplained.
    If someone could spread some light on what else needs to be done, please tell me.

    Hi dude,
          I have the similar problem as well.  Sounds like you are in the bad shape, but yeah, try to loose your RAM settings.  First, all settings auto seem to be good, but it's actually not the case.  You have to set TRC and TRFC as higher than 12 and 14.  I am seeting those to be 14, 18, and it seems to be working great.  It will be better to set the burst length as 4 beats.  I don't like this board coz I can't set the drive length to be weak instead of normal detected by the Windows.  My system can post, but I got problems of playing 3D demos and games, which looks like it's the problem of motherboard.  Not mature enough.

  • Dual Monitor problem and an idea

    Hey everyone. I use two monitors and when i have iTunes open on the primary one(the laptob monitor) i am able to scroll through my music in iTunes using my mouse wheel. However, when iTunes is opened on the other monitor, scrolling through songs with the mouse wheel doesnt work and i have to do it using the scroll bar. Other applications such as firefox scroll just fine on both monitors. Any ideas??
    Also, I couldnt find anywhere to post suggestions so im just gonna do it here. I think it would be nice to be able to save playlists and then be able to load them if you ever have to reinstall itunes or there is some other issue. I know you can just put the music into categorized folders in windows explorer, but that doesnt allow you to have the same song in more than one playlist unless you copy the music file. I dont think it would be very hard to do, just save to some file that stores the file name and location of each song. then upon importing the playlist, it could scan the saved location for that file and add it to the playlist if its there, and if not it could ask you what other folder it should scan in for that song. I think this would be very beneficial for people that create many large playlists that would take hours to recreate.
    Thanks for your help,
    Adam

  • 2014 mac mini dual monitor problem

    I just brought a mac mini (Late 2014) i have two displays monitors connected, one HDMI to DVI. and one thunderbolt to DVI. I can have both thunderbolts connected and the problem its the same, when back from sleep ,one monitor doesn't turn on. i have to disconnect one and then both work, it only happens when the mac goes to sleep. on cold restart or turning the mac on, this problem doesn't occur. any help.

    I have this same problem too. I purchased the Mac Mini with the intention of running dual monitors. I'm using the HDMI and mini-display/Thunderbolt to DVI. I've also tried MiniDisplay/Thunderbolt to HDMI and I'm experiencing the same problem as angelfromfullerton. Whenever it tries to wake from sleep, it can't decide on monitor arrangement and keeps flicking between the two, making the OS unusable and forcing a reboot... EVERY TIME. I've also experienced the issue once or twice on a cold boot. It doesn't matter which Thunderbolt port is used either.
    I'm going to have to return my Mac Mini unless this problem is fixed asap.
    Mac Min, OSX Yosemite (10.10).

  • Dual monitor problem...

    I have had my 13 inch macbook connected to my TV with no problems. Recently I unhooked the laptop to travel and when i connected it back to my TV, it only registers as having dual displays. Before I disconnected it, the TV was the only display shown on the computer, there weren't any choices for screen arrangement like there are now. and when i mirror displays the tv image does not fill out the creen as it did before and is all grainy and unappealing. Can someone please help me get back to how it was...so in short, can I turn off the dual moniters and pick just one display to use. I like keeping my computer closed.

    Hi maloneisgood,
    In order to use just your TV as your main monitor, first uncheck the Video Clone option from the Monitors panel (under System Preferences). Connect your laptop to your TV as if you wanted to use a dual-monitor setup, then Restart your MacBook, close the lid and keep closed. When Mac OS is fully booted, you can open your lid again.

  • Dual Monitor Problems with Vista

    I have a Lenovo T61 laptop running Vista ultimate 32 bit, SP1. I schlep this back and forth from home to work and put it in docking stations at each location. The docking stations have external monitors attached. At work I have a Viewsonic VX2035wm 20" Wide screen, (16:10) monitor with optimum resolution of 1680x1050. At home I have a Viewsonic VA912b 19" standard aspect ratio monitor with a suggested resolution of 1280x1024.
    I typically run in dual monitor mode using my laptop display and the external monitor and extend the display across both monitors. Sometimes I run with the laptop display as the primary monitor, sometimes the external is the primary.
    When I take my system from one location to another, generally upon boot or resume it recognizes the different monitor configurations and adjusts the display properties accordingly. However, about once a week I have a problem. For example, I shutdown at home, came into work and attempted to boot the system. Upon boot my external monitor displayed a frequency out of range error and did not display anything else. I suspect that the external port was configured to a setting that was not supported by the monitor. It appears that this was the primary display because my laptop only showed the background and the desktop did not display. Since nothing was displayed, I couldn't click the start menu, any icons, etc. I tried to adjust the monitor configuration by right clicking the laptop screen and selecting personalize, but the personalization dialog would not show up and I suspect that it went to the blanked out external monitor.
    Please advise on how I can handle this situation. Is there any way to move the display from the external to the notebook when this happens? I noticed that Viewsonic has Vista drivers listed on their web site. Would it help to download and install these? Is there anything else you can suggest?

    The main point of posting this topic was to point out the appalling service offered by Adobe but, of course resolving this issue would be nice also.
    So here goes;
    Dual monitor issue (Applies to CS4 applications; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc. but not Flash or Dreamweaver or any other manufacturers software).
    I have 2 monitors installed with Windows Vista 64bit, using Nvidia Quadro FX 1700:
    -1280 x 1024 (primary display on the left) &
    -1440 x 900 (on the right)
    With a CS4 application maximised in the larger monitor, all the drop down menus display fine, if the chosen drop-down menu is taller than the height of the monitor (fonts, for instance), an arrow appears at the bottom of the menu so that I can scroll down the rest of the menu. If I then reduce the size of the CS4 application window, move it to the smaller monitor and maximised it again, the drop-down menu (which displayed and functioned fine in the primary monitor) is cropped off so I can't access the rest of the menu.
    This might seem a minor irritation, but for batch-processing of merged files (the main purpose for having 2 monitors) CS4 makes the 2nd monitor redundant.
    Another, less irritating issue (again, only with the applications named above) is that the window when maximised in the secondary monitor 'hangs over' into the primary monitor.

  • Dual monitor problem with MSI 5950 Ultra

    OK, I finally got the money to have a dual monitor setup.
    I am using a MSI 5950 Ultra card
    Soyo 600T Dragon Ultra MB
    1 gb Corsair XMS 3500 ram
    AMD 3000+ processor
    Adaptec 2410SA SATA Raid card
    4 Western Digital 74gb Raptors in RAID 0
    2 V201S 20.1 inch Viewsonic LCD monitors.
    XP Pro OS
    I have updated all BIOS/DRIVERS on all hardware.
    The problem is when I connect both monitors I get a system freeze. It is random and does not have to be event (ie mouse movement) generated. There are no event log entries. If I disconnect the analogue monitor the freezing goes away. Is this a known bug? If so when can I expect a driver/bios fix on the card? If not can anyone suggest a fix.
    I have removed all non-essential cards.
    THanks
