Vista + Multiple Monitors

[nitrobass24]

On Vista, it doesnt seem to matter the video card configuration, but no matter what I cannot get Vista to utilize more than 5 monitors.

Is there something that I need to do to be able to use 6 or more? Like a reg edit or something?

Vista only allows one video driver to be loaded, so are all your monitors plugged into the same type of video card? I'm not sure if it's just all ati or all nvidia, or if it must be like e.g. all gtx 260s or what, what's your video card setup?

Well thats kinda my point.
I know it has to use the same driver.

I have tried 2 GTX295's, 2GX2's, 3 275's, and various combinations of 8800GS/GT and 9600GS/GT and 9800GT.

No matter what I do I cannot get a 6th monitor to work.
It is defiantely Vista, On XP I dont have this limitation.

Well I searched google, and saw posts by a few people running 6 monitors in Vista, as well as a youtube video of Vista powering 6 monitors. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_E_i2-yU3U
6 monitors in Vista running on 3 9800GTs.

Do you have the latest: Video drivers, bios updates, chipset drivers, OS updates?
