kha, I'm an NT relative idiot, so please award greater credibility to answers from NT-experienced persons. Since you asked me, I'll try anyway. A dual monitor card I take to mean 1 video card with two video jacks in the back. If the video driver has been correctly installed, I would expect your most difficult task to be figuring out which port is the left monitor and which is the right. Since you have a 50/50 chance, I wouldn't expect this to take more than 2 tries to get it right. <g> But bear in mind that the above is predicated upon your vendor setting up the video card driver correctly. If that is NOT done correctly or thoroughly, what you need to do will depend on the particulars of the Matrox video driver. I did muck with a Matrox NT driver some time ago and given that the card itself supports multiple monitors, I will go so far as to hazard a guess that the multi-mon will be handled by the Matrox driver NOT the windows code. I would look for a Matrox Icon in the control panel window NOT the Display Icon. But here is where someone with better matching experience would be useful. Sounds like a nice system, enjoy! pae
