Hello,
Hi I was trying to use the multiple monitors. I am using windows XP. I went to display, then settings, but It only shows one screen. So I don't have the multiple monitor option!? Does anyone know how can this be fixed, if it can? I am not sure if this is due to the video card. The one currently installed is sis 740.

Thank you.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.4

That video adapter chip supports dual monitors. You may need to download the latest driver - try this site:

Hi, I downloaded the latest driver for the graphic card i had, and then went to graphic tray options and enabled the multiple monitor option cause originally it was turned off for some reason. That is all I did actually!! Sorry if this is not helpful enough.

The Three main ways to Setup Multiple Monitors

1) You can buy a pre-manufactured multiple monitor computer. The best place to purchase a multiple monitor computer is at: http://Multi-Monitors.com. They carry a multi-monitor computer line called SUPER PC that can support from 2 to 12 monitors (or more if you ask).

2) You can get a USB to VGA Adapter, or USB to DVI Adapter that will allow you to add an extra monitor to your computer via any USB2.0 Port. You can also add multiple extra monitors by using multiple adapters. This is a great option for viewing documents, surfing the web, using Microsoft Office and many other business tasks. This is not a good option for intense graphical situations such as HDTV, Blu-ray, Gaming and 3D / CAD Workstation applications. For those types of scenarios, it is highly recommended that you purchase a high-powered multi-monitor workstation or a Matrox Dual or Triple Head2Go.

3) You can replace or add an extra video card to your existing computer, depending on how many monitors you wish to support. Although this sounds easy enough, this is a rather complex solution for a beginner, especially when trying to find a compatible graphics card. For this reason, I am going to write an entirely seperate post on that topic and will link to it here, very soon.

Once you have your multiple monitor system set up and ready to use, you will need to enable all of your monitors in your “Display Properties” Control Panel. Here is a great link to a complete and animated walkthrough of how to enable your multiple monitors in Windows.
