Multiple Monitors

Basically i have two monitors, i have done it before but now i am having trouble. I have also used a monitor and TV set up before too. On this current computer i have a NVIDIA or whatever card and I also have the on board video card. For some reason i can not run both at the same time. I have only been using the nivida card with my 21inch, i want to use my 15inch flat panel with the onboard video.

What do i need to do?>

Try searching for some old posts of mine with my username and search words of monitor, nvidia, ati, and that should give you some hits on how to enable two monitors with your current card.

I am not sure if you can run your onboard one with the Nvidia at the same time.
The Nvidia card you have can do both if you have the extra DVI or monitor output on the rear of it.

You can set it up so the same thing is on both monitors, or you can set it up so the start menu and task bar are on one, and you can "extend" the desktop to the other monitor to have a browser open on it while you game on the other one or have some other app running.

PS, here is one I dug up.

Thanks Corey, Unfortunatly it looks like i will have to get another card, because you cant run onboardn and nvidia at the same time.

Yeah, that is what I said.

Doesn't your Nvidia car have two outputs on the back of it?
One regular, one DVI, same as my ATI?

If so, you are all set to go.
