| I've been through a few different variations of this problem. With Post/Boot screens on the left or center or right monitor only, left and right monitors, center and right monitors, and stretched across all three. The only way that I managed to fix this was the following: 1. Change the windows resol... |

| If you're after the upgrade kit, for your existing DS100, that will allow you to use 3x24" monitors out of the box you need to order the Long Crossbar Extender Kit with part #97-447-200. This kit will allow you to upgrade a dual monitor DS100 stand (#33-322-200) or triple monitor DS100 stand (#33-32... |

| Have a look at the DS-100 from ergotron, they seem to indicate that if you get the triple monitor version with 55" crossbar you can fit three monitors up to 622mm wide with the long crossbar. With the Dell 24" monitors I checked width vary from 560mm to 585mm depending on bezels so you should be fin... |

I'm guessing it's the Matrox GXM that is deleting or overwriting it. Does anyone have an idea on how to disable this beha... |

Do you have to drill holes into the wall for the monitor mounts? I live in an apartment so that would probably be a no-no.
Only if they are Wall Mounted arms or mounts. The ones we have been discussing are freestanding on your desk. |
