Bios update no longer supports dual monitors

Hi,

Recently reformatted my computer, and installed the updated bios from HP, and now my computer won't support dual monitors. I've been all over the net looking for a solution and all I can confirm is that everyone else who's updated their bios is now having the same problem.

I've been told that contacting HP does nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

ok you answered part of my comment ,by old drivers you mean bios i assume ,bios if not a driver ! you should have been prompted to backup your old bios when doing the flash1

did you try installing updated video drivers .
