Dual Monitors - Video Card Set-up

[elevatus]

I have purchased an additional video card: Video 88PCI-32
from http://www.jaton.com. I have physically installed it
and it's drivers.

I have 2 monitors. 1 main monitor and
1 sub-monitor (sitting right next to it).

My goal is to use the main monitor for the page/image I
am working on and use the sub-monitor (to the right) as additional
"real estate" to store all of my graphics palettes (which allow me
to apply effects to images etc.).

How do I get the sub-monitor to show the screen ?

I must need to "bridge" something so it can communicate
through the PC to the other monitor or something, please advise ?

Thank you, www.ELEVATUS.com (http://www.ELEVATUS.com)

Check Windows Help under 'multiple display support'.

Look in the manual for each of your video cards also.

Once you read the info on dual monitors, be aware that not all video cards work in that configuration...the Riva TNT chipset does not (under Win98) and I'm sure there are others...also, unless you're running 2000 or XP, whichever card your mobo enumerates first will be your primary display...

This used to be the card in the highest pci slot, although newer boards have a bios setting that allows you to select the AGP card (if you have one) as the primary...

Under 2000/XP you can select which card is the primary in your display settings...good luck

When all else fails, read the instructions.
