Asking for a friend in the UK who has a Solitaire Ultra and up to and including Bogart 2.7e is unable to use the 2 screen mode and wondered if any NTSC user on v3 had been able to use 2 screen mode

Bet he has the menu set to other than VGA. Hold the right mouse down for a few seconds. Prompt will appear. One will be VGA. It is either #1 or #3 key on the keyboard......my unit is rendering HD right now and can't check.

Bogart has 2-monitor mode capability.

Thanks for your reply Lou,i'm pretty sure he has checked his setting but you can never check enough,will pass it on and see what happens.

Just a update,friend has all settings correct,it seems this problem relates only to the Solitaire Ultra which is why i posted here to see if it was just a Pal issue as it seems not many took this option in the UK and none seem to be on the UK Yahoo group

Hi,

The only problem I have with my Solitaire+ Ultra (and my Renomee+ Ultra) regarding the 2 screens mode is, that the VGA monitor is only able to display 4/3 aspect ratio definitions...I don't know why...I made so many tests with various types of monitors, panels etc...tried so many brands...nothing to do...meanwhile MS still answer (like they are used to do) that this problem (among many others) is solved...

Cheers.

Vincent

Thanks Vincent can you remember which version of Bogart you were on when you got the 2 screen mode with 4/3 ?

Well,

If I remember, 16/9 ratio worked with the 2.4c version...but since none works anymore...but in 4/3, I think it has always worked...

Just to add Vincent my friend uses the DVI connection and a VGA PC monitor with a switch box but has never been able to use the 2 screen mode.

Are there no NTSC Solitaire Ultra owners at all to comment ?

Ok,
my configuration is DVI & VGA PC monitor, but in your case the switch box is probably the cause of the problem...

Have passed it on,thanks Vincent
