    Dual Monitor Setup Help!!

    Hey I have an All-in-wonder 9200 with one VGA-out and an oooold S3 Virge vdeo card that has been sitting around for a while, i just bought a new monitor as I was hoping to set it up as dual monitor display. I put in the S3 virge into a PCI slot and hooked up the monitor to it. I booted up into windows fine and it detected the video card and installed drivers for it....but i cant get it to work! I go into the device manager and it tells me That the device cannot start.

    I switched monitors to see if that wa sthe problem and, nope same error.

    In my Display Properties and under setting it doesnt list the S3 card there and there is a secondary all in wonder display thing (??).

    What should i try next??

    Thank you Sam.

    IIRC the s3Virge will only work if it's configured as the primary card in the BIOS. You then should be able to tell windows that the 9200 is the primary and everything should work - but YMMV, it's a pretty old card now.
    Now go away before I taunt you a second time.
