Does any one know how to use more then 10 displays on XP. i know the settings dialog doesnt support it but is there another piece of software that can set them up?

Ok i am using ultra mon and it will only let me enable 10 of the 13 screens. if i disable 1 screen i can enable another.

I am using 3 colorgraphic LT 4 cards and an onboard intel vga. Windows has no conlficts with the cards and all should be good, but it's not :(

Any help or guidence would be grate.

I read somewhere that XP can no handle more than 10 monitors. From what I know NT 4.0 is the only one that can do over 10 monitors.

Doug Sharp, you are probably running out of address space and that is why the additional screens do not activate. You will not get an error message in the Device Manager when this happens it just will not activate the additional screens. Pentium 32 bit architecture can only address up to 4GB of address space. 3 Predator LT 4 cards will require 1.5GB of address space due to their memory footprint of 512MB each. With system RAM other devices and virtual memory required for XP it may be close to the 4GB limit. I am surprised you are able to get 10 screens. We have only been able to get 8 screens MultiHead to operate correctly under Windows XP.

We have tested 16 on Xentera GT with UltraMon on XP and expect to be able to run 32.

I am currently running 16 monitors on my XP system. I'm using 2 colorgraphics xentera GT 8 port PCI cards and it works great!

Hi!buttslapper,

I would like to turn on a TV wall with 9 separate screens , do you think this graphic card could divide the orginal picture to 9 sections and display them in different 9 monitors ?
