i wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the video card forum, but since this problem only cropped up when i got my new monitor, i figured here would be a good place.
my setup is:
2x bfg geforce 6600gt (want to have sli eventually, but just trying to get the monitor working first)
dual booting with vista and xp pro
so i got my samsung 225bw today and installed it. it works beautifully in vista alongside another lcd i have. setup was a breeze and i can successfully use the nvidia dualview setup to expand my desktop across both monitors.
windows xp is not playing so nice with me. when i first booted into windows, i got nothing on the display. i assumed this was because i had SLI turned on, so i turned it off and rebooted. still nothing. ok fine, so i downloaded the latest driver for the 225bw from samsung.com and installed it. i had to pick which monitor it was, and there were 6 (!) monitors listed. i picked the last "Default Monitor" on the list and it said the drivers were installed successfully. next i headed to the nvidia control panel. i selected the dualview option, upon which i got a bsod with nv4_disp.dll. rebooted, tried again, same thing.
next i tried uninstalling all monitors from the device manager and plugging in only the 225bw. after doing this, when the login screen would have appeared, i got the bsod PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA. i had to disconnect the 225bw and reconnect my other monitor, and then i could login agaain (after a reboot).
next i tried uninstalling the nvidia display driver. then when i rebooted (with only the 225bw plugged in) i got a display. so then i tried reinstalling the nvidia driver and during the installation, another bsod.
what should i try next?
