That is close to impossible.
I have an extra system with integrated video, and a pcie slot. I will give it a try and get back to you all.
Okay, this is what I did. I bought a high tech video card and installed. It has slots for four monitors. I only need 2 at the moment so I unplug my other card and plug my 2 monitors into it. It has the slots labeled A, B and C. Only the monitor that is plugged into the A slot works. What could be the problem? When I go into the change screen resolution program I can't see the other monitor to enable it. What should I do?
New card come with NVidia software?
What card is it?
Hi,
I almost had the same problem but i found the problem.
Get the latest drivers for your card it does wonders.
Hope this helpes

You want to be careful doing things like that.
You're gonna need a big PSU to supply the juice or it will probably blow up ... I'd say at least 520 watts, but more would be better.

That could happen? Well thanks everyone for helping but because of all the trouble this has given me, instead of running two monitors on one computer I just got another computer and put them next to each other.

In that case, get a KVM switch and throw all the extra crap out of the window.
What's a KVM switch? I have a Bay Networks BayStack 350f-HD. Could that work?

Are you taking the piss? Since when did you need a powerful PSU to install new graphics card drivers? You might need a powerful PSU for a new card that will be sucking up a lot of power, but for installing drivers?.

A KVM switch allows you to share one mouse, keyboard, monitor and other stuff with two or more machines. Very convenient.
That sounds cool but, I think Firestar wants 2 monitors. not 1 monitor with 2 computers.
