On the guess that the problem is due to the video adapter card:
Computer b is having the problem. If I understand, you have relocated the Zscreen from computer B to computer A and it works okay. Is that correct?
If so, next would be to swap the video adapter card from computer B to computer A to see if computer A still works okay when modeling. You’ll want to have the install software for this adapter card on hand before running the experiment. Shut down computer A, remove or disable the video card from Computer A and put in the video card from computer B.
This may or may not work as not all video cards are compatible with all computers. If there is any doubt about compatibility, call Dell support and ask.
Also are you certain that the Nvidia FX 3400 is 1) able to do 3d modeling and 2) *expressly stated* as compatible with the other components?
**Edit: Sometimes there are general compatibilities for video such as "Open-GL" while other times the adapter has to provide express driver support for the specific hardware it is intended to work with

You get the award -- Folks we have a winner!
The Nvidia FX 3400 fails to send the sync signal to the ZScreen via the 3-prong cable. That card is no longer made (of course...) and the new cards cost a couple of grand. But from what I read, they are a major, major upgrade in capability. It wont bust my budget, but it puts an unexpected hole, which will require a decrease in training budget for my peeps. That's TDB, really. I had hoped to send one of them off for an Erdas workshop on classification this summer. Now I get to look like the Pointy-Haired Boss.
