Hi forum,

I feel pretty stupid, but I have a problem, that I just can't figure out how to solve.

I installed the win 8 upgrade on my desktop yesterday. I have two monitors connected but only one of them was working, even though I upgraded the drivers for the graphicscard, I wasn't able to enable the other monitor. This is, however, not my problem.. As part of me trying to figure it out, I hit the "Devices" button in the menu and disabled the only monitor on there. I thought it was the one which wasn't working, but it turned out to be the one already working, so now none of the monitors are on and I have no idea of how to get them working again.

I'm guess that I'm looking for some sort of a keyboard shortcut to enable the monitor again, can anyone help?

It doesn't work, but I'm guessing that it's because I'm not logged in. Is it possible that you could tell me exactly which buttons I need to push from power on and untill it works, and in which order to push them?

i was tricking around with eyefinity and i disabled 2 out of 3 monitors out of figuring out why i couldnt have 3 monitors (just bought the 3rd)

i have to give you kudos on this one, although im on windows 7 ultimate, windows key + P + arrow down = life saver.

also found out i needed and active display port adapter which i thought i bought but didnt to make the 3 monitors work together.

also should mention i did this at the login screen when you get the password before going into windows 7 desktop.

+ + alphanumeric, slightly off center is just about enough for me :D
