December 23, 200322 yr For the last few months I have been enjoying 3d views (windowed) out of two 21 inch monitors from an ATI 9700 Pro. After a computer upgrade I am able to use a front and side view even on vatsim. A month ago I attempted to lightly overclock the ATI. After quickly decided that this proposition was just too scary for me I put the setting back to origonal spec. Since then, when I try to drag my second view to the other monitor, it crashes about half the time. Now since sunday it crashes 99 percent of the time. I've tried reinstalling everything but the OS. (including graphics drivers, DirectX and FS9)It used to be that if I was able to get that second view, it worked all day and night long, no problem. I was able to pull the view over last night once, and it worked fine for the rest of the night.Any thoughts? Did I break it forcing myself to go out and get a 9800 XT??? heh__XP3200+ 1 gig Kingston pc3200ATI 9700 ProA7N8X rev 2.0 mobo80 gig ATA133Thank you.Josh
December 24, 200322 yr Author Hi, Josh.Over clocking the board will only cause tearing and other visual artifacts, RAM timing, it will not give you access to the Bus timing. I would try to reinstall the Drivers for your Mobo, VIA or whatever chip set you may have, Remove with the ATI util. and Reinstall the Video driver and Reinstall the DirectX. Post here if no joy. TV
