That older underpowered video card you have may not be able to drive two
monitors.

The hype from nvidia is that it can do two monitors! WTF? Its driver
can, but the card can't! WT F'ing use is that?


Oh well, I guess I could get a bigger screen.


Thanks all for all the input.

Looking at nvidia's website they confirm this card is able to run two
monitors up to resolution's of 1280 x 1024
with the fact it only has 1 vga output this would suggest you require a
monitor splitter cable to run two monitors from there it should
hopefully recognise the second monitor and allow there software to take
over and let you set them up however you require
however with the price of older nvidia/ati cards these days i would
consider changing it for a card that does have two independent vga
outputs physically on the card- Hide quoted text -

Don't you think its bad practice that they say that though? Its really
annoying they can get away with such an approach.
