Using 3 or more monitors?

[Ray Mitchell]

Hello,

I have one nVidia dual-head AGP adaptor and one nVidia single-head PCI
adaptor. I would like to use 3 monitors and although both cards are
recognized by the system (and work properly individually) I'm at a loss as
to how to get it to use 3 monitors. It only shows 2 on the dual-head card.
If I replace the dual-head with a single-head I get two monitors (one on
each card). So, how do I get 3? Is the nVidia driver the problem?

Thanks,
Ray Mitchell

Hi Ray:

The problem is more likely that the secondary video card is not one that is
supported (the dual head AGP card) - do you know if it supports disabling
VGA?

If you use three supported video cards, multiple monitor support will work
fine.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=238886 for more information on multiple
monitor support.
