I have a Geforce 8800GTX card on Win XPI tried hooking up two monitors1 a 24" Dell 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz (DVI)2. a 20" Dell 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz (analog VGA)/I then used the NVidea panel to join this two as one big monitor. I was expecting 2520 X 1200Instead I got 3200 X 1200. It made the 1920 X 1200 monitor as another 1600 x 1200 monitor. So the image on the 24" monitor is distorted. How do I get 2520 X 1200 with this setup? Is it because I am using analog cable for my second monitor? If I connect it with DVI cable would it fix the issue? Or is it not possible?Manny

That should read "I was expecting 3520 X 1200"andHow do I get 3520 X 1200 with this setup? Is it because I am using analog cable for my second monitor? If I connect it with DVI cable would it fix the issue? Or is it not possible?

Manny: I did a Google search on "force resolution free application xp". Among the many returns, I found the following pagehttp://blog.arogan.com/2008/08/custom-resolution-by-application-in.htmland the following program:http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/multires.shtmHTH!

Hi Chuck.Thank you for those links.. Let me read and see if that would do it.Since the ht is not the issue, its 1200 for both monitorsIt would be intersting to see if the Video card yet again does not total the length and then divide it by 2 for the monitors and send equal numbers to both the monitors.. The issue is, the video card has to send the 1920 to the 24" and the 1600 to the 20".Let me try it.Thanks againManny

Hmm.. I tried multires. Didn't do it for me.The Video card just decides to split the total resolution and splits it by 50% for each monitor. That is, after taking the lesser of the two monitors resolution times 2.I believe all these eyefinity and what not, do require identical resolution monitors in their multimonitor setup. Someone please tell me my hyphothesis is wrong.MannyEven with the two monitor setp one being messed up, its still better than 1 24" monitor. I love multimonitor setup.
