I have just set up a dual monitor system and if I don't
disable one of the monitors the program does not run.
I could use some help

I run a dual monitor setup also. When i first set it up i tried everything to get it to work with no luck. Finally i gave up for about a week and then had some problems with my comp, so i had to uninstall and reinstall alot of stuff one of these being FS. Once reinstalled it just worked. Not sure that this helped you in any way and I know that Reinstalling is a big pain in the rear, but it seemed to work for me.
Just thought of something else you might try. Go into your display properties and make sure that you have the vid card configured for dual monitors. I had to do that with my new card i just got a few weeks ago to get mine to work with the new card. Hope you figure it out

In order to do this, you need a dual head video card, right?  (I seem to remember reading that somewhere ages ago.)  What's the price range for something like that?  I'd love to run dual monitors...but I know nothing about what I'd need to do to accomplish it.

Hi   can anyone tell me the advantage of a dual monitor system please....or even post a pic of a dual system working so i can see it......3 monitors i think i can understand as sounds like looking out the front and both sides as you fly (but 2) not sure  

Page--everyone has their own reasons for it, and their own set up.  Some do two monitors showing the full forward view and one on each side.  Others use a second monitor to display instruments...it really depends on your own desires and needs.

There are some guys, like www.projectmagenta.com, who do a full scale cockpit simulator, and they have monitor after monitor after monitor after monitor...

Personally, I want two monitors to do a full panel full front window shot.
