NVIDIA 7300 SE Card and Dual Monitors

[Guest W. Watson]

I'm using XP and have an NVIDIA 7300 SE video card that I'd like to use for

two LCD video monitors. I plugged the second one into the back of the card

yesterday, and XP didn't recognize it. What do I need to do to get it to

fire up properly? I expect to move window between the two monitors for

various applications. When I look at Systems Device Drivers, I see only one

monitor, or maybe just one card. The 7300.

Did you install Nvidea drivers, or rely on default win drivers?

Multi Monitor config is via the NVidea driver, it wont automatically show

the second monitor if you havent configured it for multi monitor - iether by

clone or by spaning across both monitors

Device Manager should show the single Display Adapter

If you have correctly installed the driver there should be a Nvidea settings

icon in your tool bar

Right click on desktop, properties, settings.

I'll give these ideas a try tomorrow.

Well, that was interesting. I realized that about one week ago I moved from

w2k to XP, and so decided to install the XP drivers. I did find an NVIDIA

Control Panel by right-clicking on the desktop, but it showed that I could

only install one display. My second monitor is a ViewSonic 710S, a modest

squarish monitor. I cannot find a booklet on the video card, but will go to

the NVIDIA site and see what those two connectors in the back really are.

 

According to Dev Mgr, only one display device is installed. Back later.

The card supports multi Monitor; it uses nView, for the settings

If you correctly installed the driver from NVidea site, had both monitors

connected/on when you installed it, the install should have completed and

gone into an option to configure your displays.

There will also be a Nvidea icon on the task bar, which if you open has

options for configuring both displays
