could you please tell me what video cards you are using successfully with waves pluginns? I have 2 asus EAH3450's and now with the latest waves release my plug inns show up with the GUI grey unless I open them in the middle screen. I use skootch and can put the pluginns in the middle as a work around but it is getting old. I have been looking into some of the cheaper Quadro cards but remember you saying you are using 2 cards successfully.

Thanks for your help, Scott Franson

Paul I had this issue with my 3 screens. I had one big 32inch in the middle with a 19inch each side. Now I've got 3 of the same size monitors and ditched the 32in mine open fine. I think it was because the 32inch max resolution was very low

Thanks Raoul, I have 3 x 21" monitors, two dell and one acer. I have been using 3 screens for 7 years or so now and never had this issue. My 2 video cards are rather old and even say on the box that they are qualified for vista

still not sure whether to try 2 new cards or one quadro.

As far as waves is concerned they "never supported multiple graphics cards" and will not help me.

how about maybe two of these

Actually, I have 3 ATI HD5450 cards running now. I'm pushing 5 monitors. Three at the console and two at the MIDI station. Waves and Skootch are fine.

I have a funny feeling it's not the graphics cards just my gut feeling are all your monitors running at the same resolution Paul?

yes, they are all 3 set at 1280x1024
I have also tried other resolutions, but never tried to mix resolutions between the screens
