O.P. dual monitors
I got 2 free monitors today. Both being 17 inch but one being newer. I took the newer one and attached it to my computer's mother board monitor slot and turned the computer on. However I only get image from my normal video card [monitor I had before]. How can I unable both video cards and monitors?

any help appreciated.

O.P. RE: dual monitors
code:
ATI Technologies, Inc.       RAGE 128 PRO AGP 4X

is what I have. and my mother board is one for intel pentium 3

[edit: I was able to update my drivers, and it detects the other screen. I am trying to install the proper periphirics for the newly installed screen and then see what happens. I will probably try it with the other free monitor I got.

edit 2: doesnt work with either screens at all..it doesn't detect the drivers.
