| | Why Vista crashes so often when dual display is enabled? I use display adapter that is in Vista Hardware compatibility list. I experienced zero problems with single display settings. But as soon as I enable dual display settings I will start to get occasional blankouts and messages, that display driver stopped responding, sometimes followed by restart. I have used Dual displays since Windows 98, but under Vista this is most painful. Please, stop the crap and do some work to improve stability! |

| | Re: Why Vista crashes so often when dual display is enabled? Sorry LesleyO, but loosing my work several times in a row, made me very angry. Now I am calm again, but seems, like I should more actively search replacement for Windows to save my nerves.

I have absolutely no such problems. > 2 Duo system? When I did some research in the Internet using the error message, I found thousans of messages describing similar problem, so the problem seems to be quite common. The error message is BTW "Display Driver has stopped Working and has recovered". Sometimes it recovers well, but sometimes it seems to go into cycle and after 4..5 cycles performes memory dump and restart. |
