is it possible to hook together more than 2 monitors on a pc running win xp pro i have a gigabyte nvidia geforce fx 5200 agp 8x graphics card with a dvi out, vga out and rca/ phono out but when all 3 are connected only the vga+dvi will come into action nothing from the rca/phono output if i remove the crt monitor from the vga out and restart the pc the rca/phono out comes into action again, is there a setting to change this set up or is it just the way it is on win xp ? i have seen a small device that sits externally which u can connect two monitors 2 just wondered if there was a way to do it if the graphics card already has the three out puts im looking for.

Your video card is dual head, so you can pick any two outputs out of the three on the card.
Since the TV-out is going to be very low quality compared to the others it may decide that VGA+DVI is best for you.
As far as I know XP will let you have as many monitors as you want. At one point I put together a 7 head system.
You need video cards that can support multiple heads - dual head is common (as you have) quad head is available but expensive. And/or put multiple video cards in the system.
I run a dual head AGP card and a single head PCI card giving three monitors.
If you do run multiple video cards, then Vista actually requires that the chipsets all be from the same family, so that you have a common driver and everything plays nicely together. This is not a requirement for XP, but if you are going out and buying cards it is a good idea.

certainly. connect it, then circulate to the demonstrate residences in the administration Panel that's loacted on the commencing up Menu. in the demonstrate residences, circulate below the Settings tab. you will see 2 video demonstrate contraptions. (a million and a pair of) visual demonstrate unit #2 will seem disabled. click it and decide "improve my homestead windows laptop onto this visual demonstrate unit." Then press prepare and then ok & visual demonstrate unit #2 would be activated that's your CRT because you have your liquid crystal demonstrate related as #a million. Your CRT will now be an extension of your liquid crystal demonstrate.
