I'd say he's facing a very strange and uncommon situation. I've never 
seen that before, as I told you. And from the other user's comments I 
think neither they have. In such case, I would find a very good invest 
the 25$ it costs a DVI-D cable ;-)

In fact, hardware solutions tend to be better (more reliable) than any 
software solution and usually are easy to diagnose. And you know, Windows 
(and some manufacturers) does not always make "fair play" :-)

Remember Occam's razor statement: "the simplest solution is usually the 
correct one".
