Problem Using multiple displays under Windows 98/Me/2000/XP or NT 4.0,
program doesnt work with main graphics card
1
Cause
Your main graphics card may not be controlling your primary display. The graphics card that
controls your primary display is the one that first displays information when you restart your
computer. (A DualHead-supporting graphics card may display this startup information on
both of its displays at the same time.)
Programs that dont recognize multiple displays may not work with a graphics card unless its
controlling your primary display.
Your computer BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and the slot type (ISA, PCI or AGP see
Choose an expansion slot, page 3) of each graphics card help determine which graphics
card controls your primary display.
