Dual Vga output w/G4 Ti4200?

I just bought a G4 Ti4200, and it has the VGA out and the DVIout with the converter and the box says DUAL VGA SUPPORT so i know it's possible with this card.

I went on the nVidia website and found in some online manual to check this option "treat other displays as separate outputs" or something in the Desktop Utilities tab in the additional GeForce 4 Ti4200 properties...etc.

Anyway, that whole option isn't there. There's just the "Display quicktweak" and "Enable Desktop Manager" boxes there. So, i'm a bit confused, and I just want to get separate displays going. Also if anyone knows how to do i anyother way, that'd be great. Cloneview does work, it's just getting windows to have a second display.

Thanks ;)

Use nView. Enable clone view. Select the second monitor. Mark the box that says (something like) "Extend my desktop on this monitor". This will allow you to drag programs that appear on the first monitor and display them on second monitor. However, some programs only work with just one display.

Hi!

If yuo want to use dual wiev plug the dvi converter in the vga card & first only 1 monitor,
turn on the computer & plug the second monitor to normal vga output..
the windows (XP) turn on the dual wiev(all 2 monitor)

I tested & works fine..

Thanks, Bela, for your reply. What you're saying makes sense, but i'm insure of the order and timing that you mean.

1. Should any clone view stuff be turned on?
2. Is the main monitor plugged into the DVI-out jack and the secondary in the VGA?
3. I understand to have a monitor in the DVI jack when booting but when do i plug in the second monitor? before or after windows boots?

Thanks for your help once again :)
