Win 98 and Multiple Monitors Part Two
Setting Up Multiple-Monitors
----------------------------
1. Determine which card you want to use as your
primary card. First make sure that the card
works with multiple-monitors.
2. Insert the card into your motherboard, and then
add your second card. The system BIOS will decide
which card is the primary card. One way to verify
which card is your primary card is to check which
card displays the Windows 98 Startup logo when you
turn on the computer. The card that displays the
Startup logo is the primary card, and the card
that appears to be inactive is the secondary card.
If this is not what you want, reverse the order of
the cards in the PCI slots.
3. Repeat this procedure for each additional card.
Unfortunately, with current system BIOSs, there is
no way to determine which adapter will be the second,
third, or fourth card until the card is actually
used.
4. Start Windows 98. Windows automatically detects
the new cards. When you are prompted, restart
your computer.
5. During Startup, Windows initializes the new secondary
adapter and displays a message indicating the card is
correctly initialized.
6. If the primary card displays in 640x480 and 16
colors, right-click the desktop, click Settings,
click the Colors down arrow, and then select the
256 Colors setting or a higher setting. Click OK,
and then restart your computer.
7. After you log on, right-click desktop, click Properties,
and then click Settings. In the Display area, Windows
lists each video adapter in your system. Find the adapter
you want to use, and click on it.
8. Click the Extend my window desktop onto this monitor
check box, and then click Apply. |
