That's a good description.
I doubt he'll brick his drive. I gave him proper instructions, and they work very well. I've done LLF many times over the years and never had a failure using HDGURU's LLF utility
PCI-Ex16 video cards to support 4 screens?

Defect hard drive the possible reason for video card issue? I do not see any relationship here. Also it does not matter whether win 64 bit is installed on top of something else ir not. Either the drivers install or not.
I think it's much more a possible conflict between the cards/driver and his motherboard/ chipset/ bios.

Just because "you don't see it", doesn't mean it's not a possibility.
Nobody said "defective" hard drive... just "left over schmutz" interference.
Not impossible but very unlikely. And recommending a reformat and reinstall of windows is probably the last thing not the first thing user should try. Just baffled you recommend a formatting his drive before even hinting at checking he has an updated bios , chipset drivers and the like.
And formatting a drive is certainly not the "easiest thing first" as you wrote

You're so damned snarky... Besides the fact it sounds like you didn't read the entire thread before shooting off your mouth! The easiest thing to try was a new video card(s), but he didn't want to go to the expense unless necessary.
You don't credit him with having enough sense to check the most basic and obvious? Besides, wasn't a new computer... just upgrading to W7-64... BUT didn't know the history of the different drive before he started.
If you ever have a problem, I'll make a note to not respond. Now, you feel superior?

It's not about superior. It's that your sense of prioritization seems a little messed up. Buy a new item is the first step in recommending how to troubleshoot an issue? And after that formatting your drive? With all due respect you sound like you have zero idea what you are talking about. Formatting a hard drive low level because a video card does not work? Call me snarky but is this a joke?
OP, in the spirit of helping out, if you consider a different solution also look at usb-video converters. The adapters are very cheap and very capable in supporting higher resolution screens at very acceptable frame rates which should suffice for trading applications. You can combine several such adapters to create a multi monitor setup

No worries, pal. While the LLF is only one possible solution, I'm now kind of hoping that fixes his problem... then you can shove your pomposity.
Now have you ON IGNORE! (In case you haven't noticed, I have a reputation on ET for not "suffering fools gladly.)
That's fine...I will survive it. However it does not make your suggestions less stupid. I hope you did not plaster other poor souls with idiotic advice such as here in your other twelve thousand posts...
Just buy some used Radeon 6950 1GB from any vendor preferably ASUS, it have something like 2 DVI ports and 4 display ports, I bet you can connect 4 display ports monitors to it, I bet you can't 2 DVI and 2 DP or you can try to divide via some cable DVI ports here.
