Use the Quick Reference table provided below to address common issues when installing a multi-display system. Also check our Getting Started and Frequently Asked Question pages.


 


My multiDisplays are not working correctly.   Ensure you've installed the latest compatible graphic card driver; contact your video card manufacturer; and update using the correct driver.
Install lastest drivers while in administration mode, check with your system administrator(s).
When installing a new driver(s) ensure that the old drivers have been completely removed from your system (occasionally older drivers can corrupt the newer drivers)
Familiarize yourself with the revised driver(s) as video card manufacturers often add/revise video card functionalities.
My multiDisplays work intermittently.   Ensure that your computer BIOS and chipset drivers are up-to-date. (occsionally a new video card(s) require you to update your system setup) Contact your computer manufacturer & inquire if your system requires an update.
