Multi Monitor Users Please Help

Hi,

I have put together a system of 12 monitors with 3 AMD FirePro 2460 Low Profile video cards each handling 4 monitors.

One video Card is in Top 16X slot as shown in Picture link below.

Second Video Card is in Middle 8X slot

Third Video Card is in bottome 16 slot

Monitors are arranged in two rows, 6 in each row as shown in Picture Link below.

My question is how to connect each monitor in those slots.

Meaning which slot should I plug in the monitor # 1 & so on.

The reason I am asking is that in Windows -7 it didn’t matter but in Windows -8 some of the applications wouldn’t open.

When I open these application they show their buttons on task bar but they stay minimized & would not open ( Maximize ) & thus not available to work with.

None of the applications are games & I do not play games at all.
