Implement, manage, and troubleshoot
display devices.
Configure multiple-display support.
To use the multiple monitor support feature,
you need a PCI or AGP video adapter for each
monitor. If you have an onboard video
adapter (one that is not a plug-in card but
is part of the motherboard) that you want to
use as part of a multiple-monitor
configuration, it must be set as VGA.
To install additional monitors
-
Insert your additional Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) or
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) video
adapter into an available slot, and plug
your additional monitor into the card.
-
Turn on your computer. Windows 2000 will
detect the new video adapter and install
the appropriate drivers.
-
Open Display in Control Panel.
-
On the Settings tab, click the monitor
icon that represents the monitor you
want to use in addition to your primary
monitor.
-
Select the Extend my Windows desktop
onto this monitor check box, and then
click Apply or OK.
Selecting the Extend my Windows desktop onto
this monitor check box allows you to drag
items across your screen onto alternate
monitors. Or, you can resize a window to
stretch it across more than one monitor.
The monitor that is designated as the
primary monitor will display the logon
dialog box when you start your computer.
