Playing games with daul monitors

[lostsoul62]

On windows 7, I was playing Rage until I put on a 2nd monitor and now it just gives me an error message. Is that normal and I can only play games if one monitor is hook up? However I also change video cards so I could get two monitors. I'm running an ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series and before that I was running a weaker card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 240) which played the game fine. Do I need to re-load the game? Also this HD 5700 was on a different computer running windows 7 and it wouldn't run Rage either, but the NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 will run Rage even tho it's a weaker card. I'm just wondering what could be the problem.

Did you uninstall the old nvidia driver then install the current AMD HD series driver?

Yes, but I think I need to download the Rage patch which I can't find.

Looks like its an issue with amd cards.

I would suggest going back to an nvidia card.

The patch is supposed to fix some video issues.

sounds like amd driver didnt install properly?

No, I would say its a compatibility issue with the amd driver.

I upgraded my video drivers. I reloaded stream twice. When I start Rage I get the error message "Rage has stopped Working a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Try and change the compatiabilty in the properties menu of the game. Play arou d with the operating system compatabilities.. May work?
