Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 w/ AGP8X dual monitor problems

Hi gents. I can't set dual monitor.
I only set 1 monitor at a time and the other one remain black(with no signal). I don't have even the option to select the dual view.I also used my TV but i was not lucky enough to run them both as clone or dual. I tried to solve the problem via registry as suggested in this forum but it didn't work. I'll appreciate your help in this regard?


Win XP SP2
Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 w/AGP8X
AMD 2400+ 1.99GHZ
HD 80GHz
RAM 1024MB
CTX 701B 17" monitors
Flat 21" LG TV with RCA input

i don't have any personal experience running the mx 440 but the typical way you would get dual display working on the nvidia cards is to first make sure both displays are powered up when the machine is booted. then run "setup.exe" from the driver pack, reboot, check your device manager to make sure there aren't any unknown video devices or conflicts and then use the driver options to manage your displays.

i've used a number of different nvidia cards and my experiences with them have run the gamut from easy to rather difficult...depending on the card and the hardware config of the machines.

Yesterday I got GeForce2 Mx400 64Mb , set it up
as a secondary in less then twenty minutes with newest Nvidia(ForceWare 71.89) drivers and everything seems to work fine.

Try this:
1. install Mx440 card (in a case, not drivers)
2. Remove old drivers
3. Restart win
4. Install new drivers
5. Restart win
6. Expand desktop to other monitor/s


my setup:
P4 3.2
Win XP SP2
Nvidia GeForce6800 AGP
Nvidia GeForce4 MX400 64MB PCI
Triple Monitor Setup
