I've just inherited a setup at my new job. I formatted and installed Windows 7 Ultimate from scratch, then updated my display driver, a Radeon HD 2400 Pro, but my one monitor remains blank. It is wired correctly, as when I updated the driver, I had a few moments when it was live, showing Windows desktop background, and on a few other occasions it does this as well, but it always goes blank after a few seconds and stays like that until the next brief event.

I got a monitor that behaves the same, regardless of the driver; turning it on/off quickly for a few minutes "temporarily fixes it". Then again, how'd you install Windows if you had no screen?
So, driver would be the first suspect. Try booting in safe-mode, might be that the graphics-card supports more than one output (like an additional TV-out) and might have selected the wrong one.

Turns out it was a hardware fault on the monitor.

In English, when someone says, "...my one something..." it usually implies they have more than one, and this is the case here, with my post title.

I get this feeling I should update my English. Or at least the reading-skills.
There's a checkbox hidden in the display-settings that says "extend desktop to this screen". Make sure it's checked

Maybe. I already said above that it was a hardware fault. 
But thanks anyway.
