| 230039 | 2004-04-17 07:13:00 | Hi, I want to run 3 monitors from my PC At the moment I am running a 19" & a 17" on a 32Mb Matrox Dualhead. Can I install a 2nd video card & hook up a 3rd monitor? Will another card conflict with the Matrox? Do I need special software to configure the 3rd monitor? Or... Are there special connectors that might enable me to run a 3rd monitor with my present setup? Any help/suggestions appreciated Thanks |

| 230046 | 2004-04-17 23:55:00 | Yeah, how do you make the taskbar go to the other screens? And did you mean the same thing on three screens or three different screens? |

| 230047 | 2004-04-17 23:58:00 | u go into ur display options and set whatever screen u want the taskbar to be on, as the "master screen" | robert6655 (5176) | ||
