Recently re-installed windows on my desktop and the graphics are now really jittery. I had a video card installed on it to allow 2 monitors to be run but can't find anything for it.

i realise i need to install the driver for the card but i can't see the name in device manager it only says VGA controller which i believe is the generic version is that correct??

bit vague i know but any advice would be gratefully welcomed

ok now installed the driver and set up the 2 monitors but one is going to standby. i have changed the connections over at the back of the box and still the same so doesn't look like a dodgy connection.

Any ideas?

have you swapped cables around in the ports (at PC end) to see if it works in the other port?
