How do i set up a dual monitor system under windows 98 SE
by using two video cards (One on board and the other a older ISA video card)?
 
It's straightforward;

Simply install the second graphics card (although you may have issues if it's the same manufacturer as the on-board card).

Attach a monitor to it, and, when Windows has discovered that, if you right-click on the desktop and go to properties, you will see two screen icons side by side. One will be greyed out. Activate that and choose settings, remembering that both graphics cards can only operate at the maximum potential of the lowest powered card.

You can then arrange the locations of the screens. You may have to reboot, but from this point, you should have two-screen goodness :-) CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk
