Ok, I'll use the one you posted. I thought maybe you cropped it or re-sized it for the forum.

Tiny,

They have a news story about Elvis?

Tiny Turtle · 01-11-2005, 07:20 AM

"Elvis Presley
immediately went #1 on the British singles chart when "Jailhouse Rock" was re-released.

Our King (Carl XVI Gustaf) is at the top of the same column...

Okay, here's my 10th attempt at PSing TT's multi-screen pic. Granted, the first 9 were REALLY terrible, this one is the first I can actually post. Don't laugh too hard at my horrendous mistakes. Well, I guess they are pretty funny. Okay, you can laugh.

Man, those outer monitors are really hard to get just right.

drfish · 01-14-2005, 08:53 PM

Not bad, but I liked your work with the "potato" better...

Patrick, - Don't give up your day job!

It's a nice hobby Pat, it will keep you out of trouble.

BTW, I like it.

Ok, I have a problem that has been a pain in the a@@ all day today. I used to have a matrox pci card in my system with my fx 5900xt. Anyway I pulled it out a few months ago because my wife was giving me slack for having 3 monitors. Anyway I got a better card then the matrox ( GeForce MX4000). The problem I'm having is when I have the card in the system won't boot. I can't even get to the bios with it. But as soon as I take it out it is ok.

I tried it in different pci slots and it just won't work. I did try the card in another system to see if the card works and there is no problems with the card.

I sure could use some input from you great people.

And like I said, It worked with the cheaper Matrox card but it will not work with the 4000.

Marian Nichols · 01-19-2005, 04:49 PM

Good luck, Ed. You gonna need it.

ESHIREY · 01-19-2005, 05:30 PM

Thanks Hon. I know it.

GMarowski · 01-19-2005, 11:50 PM

Hey Ed,

I've had a lot of experience with Matrox cards over the years. All kinds, mostly used for video capture. The one thing that I have found is they all want to be the ONLY card in the system. If they have to share, they always want to be the FIRST. So if you are bent on having to video cards in one system, uninstall them both, remove them both from the motherboard, install the Matrox card and get it asll set up, then install the other one, and things should work.

Let me know if this doesn't work, PM me, I'll get more details from you and try to help more.

Jav400 · 01-20-2005, 06:30 AM

GMarowski,

Either you or I missed the line here. I think the Matrox card ran fine, it is the GForce that he replaced it with that it is giving him troubles

lannp · 01-20-2005, 06:35 AM

Ed may have on his mother board some built in graphic chip that conflicts with his GForce card; while the Matrox tolerated them. If that is the case, the GForce people should have it somewhere in their literature.

ESHIREY · 01-20-2005, 10:28 AM

Thanks everyone. Yeah the matrox worked fine. I'm replacing the matrox with the mx4000.

Abit IS7-E
P4 2.8/HT WaterCooled was o/c to 3.5. I put it back for the install of the mx card.

I wonder if I'm the only one disappointed with the multiple display version of MA. I was really hoping that one wide tank would actually span across two (at least) monitors so that fish would swim from one monitor to another. I spent about an hour playing with the settings trying to make it do that. Not sure if Ultramon would help with that either. Was I just expecting something totally different?

Rich · 03-24-2005, 07:02 AM

wouldnt it be nice to see the MA expand as one across several screens

Rich · 03-24-2005, 07:04 AM

eshirey isnt that one of the new pci express cards?

feldon34 · 03-24-2005, 07:39 AM

Having it span 2 monitors would mean having 2 backgrounds, or stretching the 1 background.
