I have 2 Dell 3007WFPs and can't seem to get them both working together. The
second monitor is always detected as an analog display and will never display
a picture. I'm not sure if this is an xp64 prob or something else as all my
machines are xp64.

I've tried several different machines, Lots of different versions of the
nVidia drivers. nVidia 8800gtx, 7950, 3450 quadro and ATi cards.

I have no problem getting a 3007wfp and a 2405fpw working together. Or
other variations of monitors when there's only 1 3007. but if there's 2
3007s the second will never display a picture.

Any ideas? Thanks.

There could be an issue regarding the resolution you might just be asking
your graphic card too much.

A couple of observations:
- Does 7950 support dual dual-link? (8800GTX should be good though, but
7800GTX only had a single dual-link output -- verify this by putting the 30"
on the other connector)
- Which driver version?

FWIW, and it probably doesn't do you any good, but my laptop (MacBookPro)
failed miserably with some of the "older" nVidia drivers. The driver that
was released as beta around November fixed it so I can finally hook up an
external monitor and extend my desktop. Drivers previous to that were
braindead.

As such, I strongly suspect the issue is with nVidia's poorly functioning
drivers. :(

It's my understanding that each 3007WFP requires a Dual-LINK connector. It
is also my understanding that on some video cards that Dual-Link might be
just ONE of your DVI connectors. This means that in this scenerio you would
require another video card to drive your second 3007wfp monitor OR replace
your current video card with a DUAL-DUAL-LINK graphic card..... I'm sure you
already found this - but I thought I'd offer another possibility, just in
case.
