Hi Pixelmixer,
Good luck, I have no solution for you, but I also need help. Trying to setup
to run two monitors from a single computer. The card currently installed on
my computer is an ATI XPERT 98D 8MB 3D 2X AGP Graphics card. I just purchased
a GeForce FX PCI 128 MB graphics accelerator which I have not yet installed.
I am an absolute novice and will ask some dumb questions here. Do duplicate
icons appear on both screens? Does the mouse cursor appear on both screens?
My intent is to run seperate programs on each screen? Is that possible? As
you can see I need a kindergartner primer:-).
Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
