    2nd Monitor doesn't turn back on

    I recently upgraded my video card and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate. Here's the issue, when my dispalys turn-off (after 10 min. default setting) from being idle, and I move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard the 2nd display doesn't turn back on. This also happens if I manually turn off the screens and turn them back on after a while.

    I noticed this really only happens if I have 2 Windower sessions open, and 1 Windower on each screen. The graphics card I have is the ATI Radeon HD 4670 and the 2nd display uses an HDMI-to-DVI converter. I have my screens setup as landscape and stretched via Catalyst software. I can fix the issue by doing anything that flickers the screens. (i.e. Change resolution, logout, ctrl+alt+del) Doing this, however, kills my Windower sessions and it gets really annoying to have to relog back on.

    Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I'm actually not very familiar with ATI cards as well, but I'll look for a power saving option.
