How to configre four monitors

Asked by vgogolak in Windows XP Operating System, LCD & Plasma, Video Cards

Tags: HP, Monitor, L 3065, uses Radeon 2400 PCI cards (2) and Nvidia 8800 cards 4 monitors in all

I have successfly badded two radeon 2400 cards for the HP l3065. When I was testing the monitors and cards i did one at a time. I already had two 30: HP L 3065s operating just fine, side by side.
I added ONE 2400 Radeon card and one HP 3065. It nunmbered the new monitor 4, not three. I was however able to set up correctly in a one over two configuration (two on left and one on bottom right.)
I also tried An applicatio ACDSEE and lo an behold it correctly spread a high resolyution image on the left two monitors high and two across.
I then added the fouyrth monitor with a  seconf Radeon 2400 card. WHat happens was now I have a monitor SIX ("6")
it seems that XP expected monitors in pairs and automatically added two inactive monitors, 3 and 5, and they even show up as icons.
Now, I can get some programs to work correctly, just ignoring the two 'inactive monitors (they are set up one over the other on the right side. For some reason I have the active 4 in a 2x2 tile with 2 and 3 on top (somehow now old "4" is "3" when "6" was added. Applications spread the images out, but when I launch ACDSEE if I try to go from "Maximize" it just doesnt do anything. However Thumbs plus seems to have it figured out and images are correct in the 2x2 5,000x3600 pixel arrangement.
I think these inactive monitors, are getting in the way. They are like amputated limbs; they are not really there but some parts of the computer brain act as if they were!  :-)

can someojne help? I think If I can just get rid of the inactive monitors (I suspect ACDSEE is trying to spread full size images over them) then things will be better.
Anyway, any help appreciated.
