Why a second monitor
Two monitors and
even 3 on the same computer, very practical for the productivity. With 3
monitors, one can open Word on one 17 inches, Outlook Express on one 15 inches
for the mail and another monitor with a data base.
What it should be
known it is that a second monitor is equivalent increasing its screen of as
much. It is not a second set of windows independent of the first, but a major
enlarging of your surface of work. You can move, using your mouse, a window of
one monitor to the other. You can even place it at horse between the two
monitors. Not very logical but possible.
If you have a
recent computer you have surely a graphics board with AGP connection and at
least Windows 98.
1. Find an old board graphics PCI and fix it in a PCI slot of
your computer.
2. There connect your second monitor (any used
monitor).
3. Start again your system. Observe attentively: Windows
normally will recognize new graphics board PCI and the second monitor. It will
have to be helped in the case of the video card.
4. Install the drivers
of the video card PCI which you have just installed.
5. If that crash
will check under Hardware manager if there is a conflict. Regulate the conflict
of peripheral as usual. Me I did not have any problem with WINDOWS
2000.
6. Start again the computer
7. Wen Windows is stabilized, go
under Properties of posting (a click of the right mouse button on the Desk and
to select menu Properties) and click on Parameters. Surprised! Two blue squares
represent the monitors one and two. Play with, they move, increase,
decrease.
8. If you see only one monitor it is that Windows did not
understand anything and does not have to install the second monitor well. You
are not lucky and I compatise with you. You need now zigonner!!!!!
9. But
99% of the times, you will see the second monitor. Click on a monitor and check
Extend Windows Desk to this monitor. It is while clicking on Apply that you will
be surprised! You will see your second monitor becoming active, you will be able
to slip a window even there.
10 Observe that while clicking on the icon
of a monitor (1 or 2), the dashboard becomes to him specific: colors, zone of
screen, etc. Configure by trying it to avoid a too great disparity (for example
one with 1024x768, the other with 640x480).
Here the procedure
"Go under Properties of posting (a
click of the right-hand side on the Desk and to select menu Properties) and
click on Parameters. Surprised! Two blue squares represent the monitors one and
two."
