    hi all

    got this really annoying problem with my card every time i reboot or shutdown my pc it defaults the resolution to 600x800, and have to uninstall or reinstall catalyst control centre, to make it go the right resolution and make it display on both screens. any one got any ideas before i spend the next 10 hours reinstalling windows ?

    Go to guru of 3d and download driversweeper and follow the process.

    Dual monitors, yeah? Try swapping the cables around at the card (you'll need to move the layout around in display manager too I suppose.
    Also, this may sound odd, but have you installed the 'drivers' for each monitor?

    If it doesn't work on fresh install, your card is borked.

    Just finally tracked down what was causing it. i feel kinda stupid about this, turns out i accidentally click base video in msconfig, wish i known this before i reinstalled windows.

    oh well shit happens
