Bought a 23" Apple display with my DC G5 and works great. Also works on my Mac Mini. When I connect it to my PC, it will not light up! It is connected to a eVga FX 5500 256MB card.

Any ideas?

It should show an image once Windows has loaded and detected the display. Don't connect USB to the PC for now, and make sure the Cinema is the only connected monitor. Failing that, try downloading and installing these drivers beforehand: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd/

i installed Winacd 0.4.5 and still no go. The screen just does not light up. Connect the mini to it and it works fine. Only have the DVI connector connected and have turned th epower off and on. Also tried pressing the button on the side of the screen to no avail.
