Enabling Dual Display

To enable and set dual display options, follow these steps:

1. Click on Start, Settings...., then Control Panel.

2. Double-click on Display.

3. Click on the Settings tab.

The Display Properties window shows two display
devices, labeled 1 and 2. Typically, 1 would refer to your
computer LCD and 2 to the external device.

4. Set these display devices individually by first clicking on

the desired device, then clicking on the different tabs to
set display properties for that device.

5. Click on display device 2.

6. Click Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor to

enable dual display.

7. Click on OK.

Note: The dual display function of the display controller
must be enabled (which is true by default) for dual display
to work properly. This feature is enabled or disabled in
the NeoMagic tab when you click on Advanced... in the
Settings tab of the Display Properties window.
