Help! only one dvi works

I have a pair of Dell 1901FP running dual-head. After upgrading from ASUS P4S800D mb+XFX 6800GT to Abit IP35Pro+MSI 8600GTS, one of the dvi's won't send any signal to the monitor any more. I have tried all the combinations, so all the monitors and cables are working fine. Any thoughts? TIA.

Does 5400rpm or 7200rpm make a difference?

Does 5400rpm or 7200rpm make a difference?

I'm looking for a usb2.0 external drive, and wondering whether a 7200rpm drive would be significantly faster than a 5400rpm, or is the speed capped by the usb connection anyways? Thanks for any input.

How do you force XP to reinstall the USB 2.0 driver?

I think somehow my XP has been messed up to the point that it won't recognize any of the flash drives, it recognizes the USB mouse only when the mouse is plugged into certain ports, but not others, and it always recognizes devices that come with their own drivers(e.g. my printer). Any flash...

The only way I can think of is Runtime.exec("<cmd>"), where <cmd> depends on your native OS, e.g., "cls" in windows.

OK here's the latest. I uninstalled Nero, rebooted, reinstalled it. Still the same. I can use another program that relies on Nero to burn DVDs successfully. I can use Nero to burn data dvds. The button just stays grayed out when I try to burn a DVD-Video. Clues anybody?
