Fantastick, Bless you friend, is it just that simple?, it makes me feel so stupid, I was drowning in a cup of water. If you could spare a bit more time, why in your learnet opinion the first one mine its black DVI has no pins round the flat pin, & the 2nd one has. Surely cannot be manufacturing mistake. this is of the card I bought:- 
and this is of the adverts on the net:-

I'm not omnipotent mate; I don't know 8) But what I know is that you shouldn't bother, as long as you are not going to connect analog monitors. :wink: |

OK thanks, one obstacle over, which the vendors could not clear, now I must find out why FSX did not want to start with one monitor on ATI 5770 Flex installed. |

Good news, Managed to run FSX OK with different drivers from the CD in the box. I am geting there bit by bit. I have an S-DVI-D cable & tried it but shows nothing on the screen, & is OK with my VGA one + adaptor the card side. .......nick |

Then I connected that S-DVI-D cable to the HTMI socket on the card & both screens now show OK. Hopefully when I get 2 proper DVI cables & connect them to the DVI sockets of the card & the monitors I may get all 3 screens working. With your help folks am geting there slowly. ............nick |

Installed the prober cables you said below, the center screen shows as usual but the other two just remain black. I run the Ati software Catalist shown below but only 2 screens show. Tried all the variables in it without success. Uninstalled & installed the drivers 2-3 times. Don't know what to do next. 
My Catalist above though is entirely different from one in a Utube Setup Info below showng 3 screens:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYorUpN4PQo 
- Single-Link DVI-D to Single-Link DVI-D - Single-Link DVI-D to Single-Link DVI-D - HDMI to Single-Link DVI-D |

You're using a REALLY OLD Catalyst or are on XP. If you're on XP, you wont be able to use more than 2 screens. |

OMG !, But look what this says:- ...Could be a mistake? or it means only 2 monitors. http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/vga-cards/sap-hd5770-flex ".....ATI HD5770 FleX 1GB GDDR5 Supports up to 4 Monitors Connectors DVI-D, DVI-I, Display Port, HDMI DirectX support 11.0 Compatible OS Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista ...." WHERE at least can I get the new catalist ?. .........nick |

Posted Today, 09:26 PM from a forum helper:- Okay so I did some googling on AMD's website and found this in the Eyefinity FAQs: Quote: What Operating Systems does AMD Eyefinity technology work with? At present Windows® Vista and Windows® 7 support AMD Eyefinity technology. There are plans for Linux support in an upcoming update to AMD Catalyst™ software. There is no support for Windows® XP. So XP isn't supported for Eyefinity, unfortunately CALAMITY, so after so much trouble I went to, & a lot kind forum helpers, I came almost to huck it & find XP whon't do. Cheerio all. |
