Well I have managed to reinstall Windows XP and most of the programmes that I use.
I’ve also managed to sort out my dual monitor issue. The problem was that windows thought that I was trying to extend my desktop onto the TV output on my video card. I got round this by installing the catalyst software that came with the card, and this showed me all three video outputs, and allowed me to choose the second monitor to extend the desktop desktop onto.
I’ve really been missing the dual monitor setup while it hasnt been working. I’ve read one or two reports that it increases productivity and can vouch for that.
Well, it’s about bloody time.
Now you’ll find it hard to go back.
When I had my three-headed 19″ monster of a setup, I found it really difficult to hit the road with a crappy 12″ screen on a laptop 🙁
