Multiple Monitors

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to configure 3 monitors on my workstation using a dualhead
nVidia dvi card, and a 'Y' splitter (dvi/vga). What's happening seems
a little strange, when I boot the system montiors A & C are both
active, and show all the POST and BIOS info and continue until Windows
XP begins to load, once Windows starts monitor A becomes inactive, and
the display moves to monitors B & C. Once in Windows, monitor A is
not detected.

I guess I should add that monitor A is using the vga connector and B &
C are both using DVI.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Dawn
