Multiple Monitors Problem!!

[Guest]

Hi!

I am using a VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP display adaptor. Plugged into it, I have
an adaptor which allows me to connect 2 monitors to the one port of the card.

On both monitors, it shows exactly the same thing. However, when I go to
control panel to expand the desktop, it shows that only one monitor is
connected, and therefore I can not expand my desktop or anything on to my
second monitor. It just shows exactly the same thing!!

Can anyone please help me? I need to know how to expand my desktop onto the
second monitor.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The adapter is wired it clone the displays, this is useful for running
projectors. It does not give you the ability to magicly make your video
card do something it wasn't designed for.

Get a second video card and plug it into one of your free PCI slots.
OR, if this video card has multiple ports built in, use one of those.
OR get a true dual head video card.
