 Boss, my code's compiling (xkcd)  Group: Admins Posts: 10,440 Joined: 19-September 01 Member No.: 1  |
If you're connecting to both monitors using the ports on your new card then simply going to Display Properties, clicking on your second monitor and ticking "Extend my desktop..." should do the trick. Not sure if you'll be able to do this by hooking up one monitor to your new card and one to your sis661FX so it would be best to wait for someone with more experience to reply.

i can't seem to switch things over to running on the new video card. i can't figure out how to disable the integrated card so the computer actually uses the new one

This problem has happened to me before,
What kind of motherboard are you running? You might have to end up going in the BIOS and tweaking some settings. -------------------- -Mad_cow |

Same integrated card as my ASUS, enable the dual monitor support and the make sure that "Initiate PCI/AGP/PCIE first"
Just make sure that the one you pick is the one corresponding to the one your new card is plugged into. That should work, -------------------- -Mad_cow |
