Three Monitors - display settings lost on reboot

Would I maybe be able to use ARandR to fix this?  If it works on Lite, I may have found a way.

Wouldn't hurt.

Quote:If you had 3 identical monitors and an nVidia card that supported 3 or more monitors, there would be zero issues.

I found a refurbished GeForce GT 730 video card (that is affordable).  Would this be a good way to go to solve my problems?  I have 3 VGA monitors and I can use my original VGA connection, one from the new card, and an EVGA VGA to DVI adapter for the third.

Are the VGA monitors identical? See here for multi-monitor support - https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop...ifications

There are 2 ACER and one ASUS, all three 1440x900, LCD, 19".

And I actually found a good deal on a new GeForce GT710 2gb card - I can run all three off of it.

But I am still looking.  My computer is somewhat old, and I do not game - just for business and personal use.  Running Windows 7.

You should be fine with that set up. Let us know how it all turns out. Don't forget to use the nVidia driver after the physical install. Then do your monitor set up with the nVidia Control panel.

I installed the GT710 card, and bada-bing got the 3 monitors set up NO PROBLEMO.

I appreciate the help.  I wouldn't mark this one SOLVED though - never was able to get the settings to stick with the VGA to USB adapters.  But that's cool.  I am currently enjoying being back to 3 monitors.
