Davidj and Thread about multiple monitors:

Here's what I learned, Windows 95 doesn't support multiple monitors but you can buy graphics adapters that do, but they are not cheap. Windows 98 can support up to 9, yep 9, and you can set them up like one large desktop or use them to show different programs on each. So I elected to upgrade to Windows 98. One thing - Windows 98 only supports PCI graphics adapters.
Upgrading to 98 was a snap - just follow the instructions and it takes about 35 to 40 minutes. Now I must say - if you upgrade to 98 be sure to do it first - before you add any new graphics adapters. If you have built-in graphics, on the mother board, Win 98 will not read it if you add a graphics board first. Next, add your new graphics board , connect the new monitor to it and turn the computer on. Win 98 will detect it and prompt you for the software to install the new board. You can change the settings for each monitor separately - really nice if the monitors are different sizes. Just go to the settings tab of the display control panel and make your changes if needed. That's all there is to it.
Now, if after all that, Win 98 only reads the new board ( not the built-in graphics on the mother board ) don't despair . Forget the built-in board and just install a second new board and connect your monitors to them instead , that's what I did.

Hope this helps

Woody
