I have installed the last 6 builds upto and including 5381.

The last few versions I had problems installing Vista, half way through the
installation my primary monitor would go blank and the image would end up on
the secondary monitor which I did not want, so that appears to be fix now in
build 5381

The problem I have now is that after installation has completed I would try
updating the Generic monitor files to the Dell 2001FP and Samsung SyncMaster
930MP driver files I use on XP but it fails to install with errors and
everytime I restart the system it would show the add/new hardware screen and
once the system has completely booted up a few seconds later my primary
monitor would go blank and it would appear on the secondary monitor, so I
keep having to change to back.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem, I have bugged it
but I'm for bugging this darn monitor issue

Clayton I have dual monitors on a ATI 9600 card. I don't believe the issue
is within Vista. Are you running these monitors on a single graphics card,
or duals.
Vista will only support 2 for now

I had the same issue in the ctp builds, tried beta 2 last night, same issue.
Even with a single display attached vista sees it as a proper driver, but
fails to install it. It will list the lcd as a dell2001 fp until the next
reboot where it redoes it as a generic pnp monitor.
