Dual Monitors

[John Revesz]

Hi....has anyone had any success installing a second
video card and monitor using XPhome? Unfortunately, when
I install my Diamond V770 it seems to override my Sis
video adapter that happens to be part of my motherboard
and in device manager it will only show one card. No
problem installing the drivers but in display property
settings the second card does not show to configure the
monitors as it does in Win98. According to the
salesperson and a microsoft web page I should be able to
use both monitors. Any response....pro or con would be
extremely helpful.

Thank you,
John Revesz

Make sure it isn't disabled in the bios.

Or make sure that it IS. I have two systems, both running
dual card/monitors. One has an Intel 82810 AGP onboard and
an Elsa Victory Erazor, the other a 3Dfx Voodoo 3 AGP and
an ATI All-in-Wonder 128Pro PCI. However, the ATI would
not coexist with the Intel, although the Elsa was happy
with the Voodoo.

Make sure that your BIOS supports dual cards and that both
cards don't share the same interrupt.
