dual monitors conflicts

**mwm50** · March 20th, 2005, 04:07 PM

I have an emachines computer with intel celeron(R) 2.8 ghz I added a geforce4 mx 4000 pci that comes with nview. I have followed all instuctions,disabled onboard graphics contoller(intell pro graphics 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV). I've updated both drivers.
The only way I've been able to get both monitors to show up in the display properties is to enable onboard graphics, reinstall geforce4 load drivers,But when i go to enable second monitor my system locks up.Some have said I need two grapics cards or a graphics card with two monitor hook up.The geforce4 has a s cable conection also, which i hooked up to my tv and works fine with two monitors but the tv of coarse has terrible res. I got this to work before I'm not real savy on some of these things but improving thanks

hi mwm50
your right you do need a card with a two monitor hook up nvidia do some good cards with two monitor ports
