Multiple monitor problem

by sicsac Apr 28, 2004 10:00PM PDT

Hey guys,
Hope you all are well.
I have a pentium III 800 running windows xp. The motherboard is a ASUS CUSI FX sis630e. I was running my current monitor (a 17inch HP71) using the onboard video adapter (ASUS VGA sis 630/730 video adapter)and all was well. I have since installed a second video card (PCI NVIDIA GFORCE 4MX 4000 64mb) and monitor (a 14inch AcerView 34T uvga). The problem is I cant get the multiple monitors to work. I have checked system/hardware settings and everything is installed working fine and I have checked Display settings and enabled the extend my monitor setting but still no go. I have checked both monitors and both video cards one at a time in all combinations and everything is fine but all together only the PCI videocard works???Is the 64mg card too much.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers sicsac

Does your bios consider the onboard to be AGP? Have you enabled both in the setup? Does your bios support dual video? In your properties advanced do both drivers show up? That is also where you usually enable dual video.
