Changed from GF4TI4600 to Radeon 9700Pro - bad idea!

Yeah, it took me some time to figure it out. Right-click on your desktop. Click the 2nd monitor so that it is highlighted. Goto advanced settings. There is a tab called troubleshootoing or something like this. I am not sure as I have a German version of windows. Disable hardware acceleration. If you do it anywhere else, hardware acceleration will be disabled for both outputs.Now this is important:Your tabs for the DirectX OpenGL Settings will disappear, there is nothing wrong with this. To bring them back up, enable hardware acceleration for the 2nd monitor again. The settings you do with these tabs will prevail even if the tabs are not visible. Since I do things that way I have no probs and the card is very fast.Hope that helps,Alex

Thanks Alex.Did not make much differance to me.I think I need to re-install the .cfg as the board does not seem much faster than my old force 3.Why should turning off 3d affect t though. I thought all panels were only in 2d.
