ok, I have 4 monitors, 2 video cards each one on one pci express 16x port
with the same model. now, my goal is to enable extended desktop, so if I maximize something, it will be displayed on all 4 screens. Right now I was just able to enable the maximization to 2 out of 4 screen using on the nvidia panel span option to use as one video card a total resolution of 2 displays (2048x768) by each video card. In this case, I can only maximize any aplication to use up to 2 screens. The motherboard suppouslly have SLI so acording to the video card manufacture, I donĀ“t need to put the extra cable between the 2 cards, but Im not sure if this is the cause of the issue, or if it is the configuration itself on windows. Nvidia control panel does not allow me to set the span to all 4 screens. only up to 2 screens. teorically I should be able to span or maximize any application to all 4 screens. Note, I am using same model to all 4 monitors also the same video card. |

Maybe there is a conflict, between the objectives of the Nvidia feature, and control provided by WinXP Display control ? Do you see four icons in the WinXP Display control panel ? http://web.archive.org/web/200606170...timonitor.mspx There is also Ultramon, but I'd try the built-in WinXP features first. There is also a difference between the current Nvidia software, and their "classic control" from previous versions. At one time, you could put their driver into classic mode, if the new package didn't support some feature. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u..._multimon.mspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultramon (Gallery of multiple monitor setups.) http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon...lse&m on=desc Finally, you could ask the question in the newsgroup... alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia Paul |

Try useing microsoft Exhibitor Pro,the utility is specifically designed for
2 or more monitors running at the same time,download at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...utilities.aspx "Gilberto" wrote: ok, I have 4 monitors, 2 video cards each one on one pci express 16x port with the same model. now, my goal is to enable extended desktop, so if I maximize something, it will be displayed on all 4 screens.

Not even theoretically. The driver and software only support spanning 2 monitors, sorry. You could send a letter to Nvidia asking for support for 4 monitors.
