Help with SLI on XP-Pro

[nctechno]

I got two systems to work with. One is single MSI GeForce 6800GT with dual DVI output. When I connect two LCDs to the system, I can see the Windows LOGO at boot up but once XP is initiated the second LCD goes out. How can I get both displays to show at the same time. Second system has two of the same MSI cards which is SLI compatible, same issue; now I got four DVI outputs but only one LCD is displaying my Windows???? What is the big thing with SLI anyway?
