Hi, we had a similar problem when setting up our machines to run CVW.

Our problem turned out to be (of all things) the VGA cards! We couldn't
get a thing on the second monitor. We mucked around a bit and found
that if we used a Video7 VGA card, lo and behold, the mono screen
worked with CVW. Makes no sense, completely crazy, but that is what
happened.

Its either related to video BIOS, or perhaps the MONO card is actually
one of those (pseudo) smart cards that is actually MDA/CGA and is stuffing 
the system up a little at POST time.
 
Hope this helps.
