I fixed it with an article on this board right before i saw your url.

Now, it is only using 1 monitor, no cloning *YEY* but i cant get twinview on.. ANyone have a good "default" setup that i can use, and modify as i see need? *shrug* im going for nice twinview support here ;)

You should find quite a few posts relating to Twinview. You will have to scan the posts to see which one will help you. I have no need for that so I can't help you with that one.

For anyoen who knows this, any info would be appreciated.

What are the rates Horiz/Vert refresh rates for a Viewsonic A90? I cant get my maximum Horizontal width because ive just been guessing.. Got about 1 1/2 inches free ;)

Tnx!!!

Check the Viewsonic website, they should have the specs for your monitor there. Or better still it should be in the 'Specifications Section' in your monitor's manual. :)
