Yeah, for sure. I work with computers for a living and things like this bug me until I can solve them, but this one just seems like a real enigma.

If you get time, I would:
Uninstall PowerDesk from Windows 7 first so it's not there when you return.
Turn off and disconnect Win 7.
Install XP (preferably Pro) on a spare HDD and install the monitors drivers from the CD.
Install the latest Nvidia driver for your card (191.07_desktop_winxp_32bit_english_whql.exe or 191.07_desktop_winxp_64bit_english_whql.exe)
Install the latest PowerDesk.
Possibly even reflash the firmware on the TH2G.
Run thru the wizard and see if you can get it all working that way.
If you can get it working on 191.07 on XP, then move it back to the Windows 7 box.

Let us know if you make any headway!


Ok, I will do that one day when I have some time. I do not have xp pro though...

Shouldn't make a real difference for this situation, was just what I am using so was more of a known thing.

If I learn anything new from continuing to muck around with the TH2G tonight, I'll certainly post about it. Good luck!
