Recommended Posts

ok...actually it's 1 onboard and 1 vid card but w/e. i just installed an old ATI 3D rage IIC PCI vid card into my computer that already had an onbard S3 ViRGE DX/GX in it...when i turned on my computer...only the monitor in the 3D card turns on...i went into the dvice manager and the onboard has a "!" on it...then says "This device cannot start. (code 10)" I'm guessing theres some setting i can change??...thanks

right, heres what i think you need to do:

 

1) in bios set the VGA Boot to PCI

 

2) load windows with your monitor plugged into your PCI card.

 

3) goto windows display properties (right-click on deesktop ? properties)

 

4) goto advanced and you should see a grey out extra monitor, now click on it and tick the box that says "extend my windows desktop to this monitor"

 

5) finally plug in your other monitor and bask in the dual monitor setup...

 

that *shouldangit work if not then ill need to come up with something else.
