it totally depends if your video card supports two screens.
It should be under video properties. If its nvidia then use that tab and see
thers an option to have 2 screens but i dono how to activate my second vid card so i can use it, since when i plug something in now it just dosent show anything
Installed Drivers and such? Setup Windows to use that for your secondary display? Extended your desktop, etc?
well the weard thing is when i plug my current screan into my motherboard thing i cant even get that to wrok, ill get a blank screen, i updated all my drivers =/
The Hardware may not be enabled.
You need to do this via your system management console.
Then Display Properties - Extend desktop, etc.
Ok well most motherboards only allow 1 DVI port to be enabled so when you plugin your graphics card it will auto disable your onboard one. Other then that you cant do it unless your graphics card has 2 DVI slots at the back. Well good luck.Quote:

Some motherboards will allow you to do an effective dual head with one monitor on the graphics card and one on the built in. If it doesn't you'll need to upgrade the graphics card so that it has two outputs. Generally the cheaper the motherboard the less likely this will work. If its a setting it will be listed in the BIOS.
