I got that. My point was that my manual states that it is an inherent OS limitation that cannot be altered by choice of card.
That's weird as hell.

It's only on XP, that issue. Windows 7 doesn't stop you from using 3 monitors.

Windows 7 can support multiple monitors but you need a graphics card platform that can support all of them. How are the other two connected? usually graphics cards only allow either multi analog (DVI) or digital (hdmi, Displayport) mode

i don't see a DVI-HDMI cable in that list. What type of DVI cable do you have, DVI-D or DVI-I?

I should rephrase that. I have:
PC > PNY miniDisplayPort to HDMI > HDMI to DVI-D cable > monitor.

I know it works, as it'll work independently or with either other monitor as a pair. It just won't run all three at once.

I just got a computer with Windows 8 and the internet has worked fine until now. Whenever I diagnose the problem, it says:
"Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP configuration

HELP!

I have been trying all day to fix it, so yes. I've tried setting a static IP, which didn't work either.

something like "192.168.1.94" I just put in something random like that. It's back on automatic now though...

DCHP usually is for the best, unless you have a specific use in mind, or are a super-networker. Pray tell, did that fix the problem?

Also:

I was afraid of that. So, I just ordered a DVI-DVI cable and a converter, and I'll send the ones I have back. Hopefully, that will resolve the problem.

Hmmm, Windows update for 7/ R2 maybe worth grabbing that might not get installed automatically since "Optional".

I know this is kinda out of the blue, but is anyone still having problems concerning Far Cry 3 and Nvidia graphics cards?  I attempted to play it again recently and if anything, the FPS drops have become even worse and I was wondering if anyone had heard anything...

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
