Trying To Run Duel Monitors With Xp Pro
Jan 1, 2006
I am trying to run duel monitors on my pc I am running xp pro and I have a 1.8 cpu with 768mb of ram with 120gigs of hard drive space rewritable cd player and I have installed two video adaptors.The first one is NVIDIA GeForce2 mx/mx400 (Microsoft Corporation) this is the one that came with the computer.I just installed is ATE Technologies INC. mach 64 CT PCI video adapter. The computer recognized the second video adaptor but can not seem to install it properly the device manager shows the both of the display adaptors.The one I just installed has the problem it has the yellow explanation point next to it. Windows can not find the correct drivers I am guessing and it doesn't show up in the display properties dialog box.It shows a code 10 the device can not start. "whatever that is."

I"m running WinXP SP2 Home. Hardware is 2.0 Celeron, 1 gig Ram, 64MB Nvidia Video Card, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, HD's are 250GIG Western Digital with 4 partitions and 27% free on the XP Boot and 200GIG Western Digital with 2 Partitions. I have a Lite-On DVD +-R/RW drive and a 3.5 floppy. I am setup with a Duel-Boot configuration Win 98/XP. I do not have a paging file.
My problem occures after I hit enter for the Select Operating System page. I Hit enter, Win XP proceeds to load. After I hit enter and Windows loads the blue welcome screen 1 minute has passed. I hear the Welcome Audio music, however blue welcome screen is still there for 30 more seconds. Next is my picture that I have as my background that is shown without icons for 1minute 21seconds. Windows now displays my icons on my desktop. the icons blink at minute 4. after 4 minutes and 51 seconds I am able to use my computer. At bootup I only have 43 programs running and 357MB of the 1 gig ram taken.
What I have done:
1) I have started in safe mode and defraged my PC, 0% frag on all partitions except a drive that isn't currently plugged in and it was 1% because it's my backup drive (not worried about that 1%)
2)Removing all connected Componets and rebooted, same problem.
3) I have tried using msconfig.exe and setting the startup selection as Normal- it's defaulted to Selective. Tried reducing my startup programs. ....

I have a HP dx2200 desktop computer.It has a built-in VGA card.He wanted to use two monitors so he put in a PCI (or PCI Express card, can't remember which) but it's not working.The only card the system sees is the built-in card.I not getting any error messages or anything.Going into Device Manager shows that the system sees only the built-in graphics card and nothing else.i have done this on several other computer's,though none of them have been dx2200's, and haven't had this problem so this is a new one.
Any thoughts?

I'm using a Sony laptop and have an external screen attached. I've set up XP
to use both the external and built in laptop screen and also checked the
"Extend my Windows desktop on to this monitor". This all works ok with one
exception.
As I sit in front of my laptop the external monitor is to my left. In order
to get the mouse on to the external display (on my left) I have to drag my
mouse pointer to the far right of the laptop display.
I've tried making the external monitor the primary display but this doesn't
help me either.
Is there a way I can tell XP that I want the mouse to move to secondary
display when I drag the it to the left hand side of my primary display?

I have read my motherboard manual and I found out that I have the ability to use dual monitor support.
I used it on another laptop that I had and it worked well except the screen resolution changed and I had to reset it.
I now want to use dual monitor support on my desktop computer for power points and other things but I think i may need a DVI to VGA adaptor which I might buy. Is this the right thing to do. Will I need anything else apart from this adaptor? I can see a DVI port apart from my VGA port in my pc.
I don't have the connectors mentioned in the motherboard manual. (pg18 under graphics card)

I can see a DVI port apart from my VGA port in my pc.
After I get that part right can I run extend my tasbar and desktop onto that monitor.

I have a Dell Lattitude C840 laptop with an Nvidia video card installed by
Dell.
Whenever I plug into a LCD projector and activate my external monitor the
dual monitor feature comes on and I cannot disable it.
Some times I want to run dual monitor with the laptop (such as for
lectures), however, sometimes I want what appears on the laptop screen to be
the same as on the projected image.
I have tried going into the Display Properties and Settings to disable the
second monitor and when I do all that happens is that I go back to only
seeing my laptop's monitor and nothing on the projector. When I activate
the external monitor the dual monitor feature kicks on again.
It never used to do this and I am not sure what changed on my system.
suggestions?

I have an old Compaq 1200 laptop. It had Windows ME when I got it. I noticed when I first turned it on, the display properties showed that there were 2 monitors when really there's only one (the LCD screen). And the desktop is larger than my laptop screen, so I have to place the mouse on the edges of the screen to get to the rest of the desktop. I figured once I wiped it and installed XP it would go away, but it isn't. I don't see anything in the BIOS either, the BIOS is pretty limited.
Has anyone seen this before?

I'm running XP Pro, and for some reason I can't seem to get dual monitors set up properly. I'd like to have 2 monitors set up so that they are identical copies of each other. However, everytime I enable the second monitor in the display properties windows seems to insist on wanting to have that set up as a second monitor to "extend" my desktop.
Is there some hidden registry tweak that I have to set?
Any ideas?

I have two monitors set up, and I'm trying to get it so I can be playing a game or using a fullscreen application like Vegas while typing something on the other monitor. I tried doing this, but clicking on the other window that I want to type in makes it the active window and minimizes whatever else I'm doing on the first monitor. Is there any way to either
A) Edit a text document without making it the active window, or
B) Allow both monitors to have active windows at the same time
Is it possible to do any of those?

I have 2 Acer monitors hooked up to my X800 and sometimes after turning themselves off while I was afk only one will come back on when I return to the PC. Turning the monitor on/off doesn't help, nor does opening a window that I know is open on the monitor that is off. Any ideas? The screens do work correctly after reboot.

I'm running two lcds that has my desktop sctretched across both. However, everytime I shutdown or get a system pop-up, it's centered and distorted between the two monitors (as that is recognized as the center of the screen). I just wondered if there was a way to specify the center of one monitor or the other for these pop-ups?

I'm running a dual monitor setup with with Windows XP and a NX6600GT-VTD128 graphics card. Though in my searches, I've come to the repeated answer that what I'm wanting is impossible at this moment in time I suppose it never hurts to ask anyway.
I want to be able to run full screen applications on one monitor and switch to applications on the other without the fullscreen app collapsing to the desktop. Is there any way to do this?
I understand that the alternative to this to just run the full screen app in windowed mode, but not all programs support this. Is there any third party software that can force a program to run in windowed mode?
I'd greatly appreciate any insight anyone may have..thank you for taking the time to help me.

I have a dual monitor setup with the primary to the left of the
secondary monitor.Sometimes when initially opening Word it will appear
just of screen at the top left corner of the Primary monitor. I can
bring it back on-screen by maximizing it from the taskbar, but it
disappears off-screen when I restore it.The only way to bring it back
is to change the monitor settings to temporarily place the secondary
monitor at the top left corner of the primary.Then Word appears back
on the secondary monitor.I can then change the settings to move the
secondary monitor back to the right of the Primary and Word follows it.
Is there a way to prevent this? or a better way to bring Word back
where it belongs?
