Steam VR Compositor Issue

[fuego]

Received my Vive last Tuesday, and I've been having problems with it since. However, I boiled it down to the following error that the Compositor is having.

And when I do get the compositor to load up, it never actually outputs to the screen on the HMD.
And I've also already tried running at adminstrator.

theres no problem i found out which they dont tell you that if your using a hdmi monitor on your graphics card your going to need a display port to hdmi cable to hook up your monitor to so the hdmi on the graphics card must be used by the htc vive . they have to be on the same graphics card or it wont work.
you can run the graphics card on sli not a problem.
Dont even bother with the mini display port on the vives control box i got a cable for that too its useless.
