Hi Folks,

I've been using multi monitor setup for a while now using the GeForce
3Ti500
(Remember when these where the Bees Knees!) for the 21" CRT and a really
old
Matrox Mystique PCI card to run a 17" CRT.

The 17" unit has been sold off and a second identical 21" CRT taken it's
place. I'm trying to use the VGA and DVI outputs of the GF3 card to drive
the two 21" CRTs but all I can manage is 2 identical screens... not much
good to me! :-(

I've download 61.77 which tells me multi-monitor is enabled but I still
can't seem to find a way to let me span the screens. I should point out
that the Matrox card has been disabled in Device manager but is still
physically in the machine. Could this be causing it?

In desperation I've ordered an FX5700LE 256MB DDR TV OUT/DVI from
Tekheads (after the second 21" CRT the budget is stretched!)... am I going
to get the same problems with screen spanning? (by that point I will have
taken all the old cards out)


Since I do not have any more of GeForce3 card, I assumed it should be the
same as any FX card.
Remove Matrox and it driver. Restart Windows and check again in Display
Properties Advance GeForce [Tab]. After clicking on GeForce, a pop-out
menu will display. Do you see nView Display Mode? If so, under nView Modes
drop-down menu, what mode it list?

FX5700 series should have no problem using two monitor output.
