Windows XP will be released on October 25, if you plan on upgrading, take a look at the Windows XP Upgrade Guide to check for any potential issues related to multiple monitors.
I've been using Windows XP Pro as my main system for about a month now, so far I'm very happy with it. The new user interface is great, and lots of improvements have been made to Explorer, the Media Player, Regedit, etc. Also important: hibernate, shutdown and startup are much faster, which by itself almost justifies an upgrade.
The only major problem I encountered was CD burning. After problems with WinOnCD and Nero I decided to use XP's built-in CD burning feature for the time being. This works fine, but there are no advanced features (image burning, etc). Last I heard, the latest version of Nero is now fully XP-compatible, but I haven't tested it myself yet.
In short, XP is an improved version of Windows 2000, but don't expect any major new features when upgrading from Windows 2000. If you upgrade from Windows 98 or Me though, XP is a major step forward, especially when it comes to stability.

Hi chris,
Any word as to wether the ATI Mobility Radeon chip is fully supported? I havn't been able to extend my desktop onto a seccond monitor... I'm probably going to install win98 because of the lack of that feature alone on XP. Any ideas of what else I might try?
Thanks for any help, Jack Brady.

Haven't heard anything regarding the Mobility Radeon. But I just checked for new drivers for my Dell laptop with the ATI Rage Mobility chipset, and the good news is that a future driver release should have multi-monitor support: Dell Support
Christian Studer - www.realtimesoft.com

Christian Studer 2001-10-26 00:09
ATI Mobility drivers with multi-monitor support are now available!
Downloading the drivers:
- go to the Windows Update site
- click Personalize Windows Update and enable Windows Update Catalog
- click Windows Update Catalog, find driver updates, Video
For my Dell with the Rage Mobility M1, I downloaded the Rage Mobility-M1 AGP2x driver.
Installing the drivers:
- extract the downloaded .cab file to a directory
- open Display Properties > Settings, click Advanced, on the Adapter tab click Properties, switch to Driver and select Update Driver
- choose the manual install option and install the driver from the directory where you extracted it (select the atiixpab.inf file)
After rebooting, just go to Display Properties and enable your second monitor.
So far the drivers seem to work fine, except for OpenGL, Quake3 looked pretty weird. I also tested video and DVD playback, no problems.
In case you were wondering if these drivers will also work on Windows 2000: they don't. They install fine on Win2000, but after rebooting I got a kernel error.

It's amazing that ATI is still supporting the Rage Pro/Mobility chipsets. Anyone interested in gaining maximum performance/features from this chipset should visit my Site
It would be nice if they could release a Windows 2000 driver with multimonitor support.
And Windows 2000 users, XP specific display drivers are not compatible with Windows 2000, so try not to use them.

I have spent 30 minutes on the phone to Compaq support regarding getting multimonitor support for my Presario 2700. They tell me this PC doesnt support multi monitors. It has the Mobility Radeon. It looks like it should support it though. When you check the settings in XP it says Radeon (multiple monitor). Any help would be appreciated, I realy do need an extended desk top.

Expand Desktop didn't work out of the box either with my Compaq Evo N160 notebook running Windows XP pro.
A simple registry hack did the trick (should work for Win2000 too):
* Start Regedit.exe
* Search for the keys "DisableDualView"
* Change the value from 1 to 0
* Repeat until you changed all keys (about 5 of them)
* Reboot
And you now have the "Expand desktop" options in your display properties window...
Good luck!

I have a Dell notebook running XP and a Geforce 2 mobile chipset. The Multiple Monitor function works fine.
But what I want to do is exactly mirror the display from the laptop onto the monitor.
Running XP in safe mode does this. But I can't find a way to switch off multiple monitor and turn on the simple dualview mode. Is this a driver problem or am I missing something obvious?
I'm banging my head against the wall only this one -if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated - harrybrenton@aol.com

Try disabling the secondary monitor in Display Properties, usually this turns on mirroring with dualhead cards.

I'm using dualview with my 19" monitor (1280x1024, 85Hz) as primary screen and my laptop display (1400x1050, 60Hz) as secondary.
Is there any way to switch all relevant display settings when you want to bring your laptop with you? Right now when I switch primary screen to the laptop it changes resolution and frequency to that of the 19" (1280x1024).
I would like to be able to switch between two modes:
[mode 1]
Primary: 19" monitor, 1280x1024, 85Hz
Secondary: laptop, 1400x1050
[mode 2]
Primary: laptop, 1400x1050
Secondary: none
Is there ways to accomplish this?

I need help for this "Issue":
A laptop with Win XP ( a Gateway Laptop and ATI video card)is plugged into a video projector. To help instructor to work, we want the display on both the laptop plasma screen and the projected screen. The problem is we cannot figure out how to change the display on the Primary and the Secondary (using the VGA out port.)
What we have is just a very small portion of the desktop shown on the projector, eventho we see the full desktop on the laptop. What do we need to do to sync the projector view with the laptop view? IE: we need to see the full desktop on the projector.
Thank you in advance.

I have a Compaq Evo N600c with a ATI Mobility Radeon and Windows 2000 SP3. I would like to use my Laptop as my primary display and a external monitor as a secondary display and expand my desktop over the two. I also have Hydravision by ATI so I can have multiple desktops on different monitors. I can get the monitor to work, but it's the same desktop as my Laptop. I've downloaded the newest drivers and set the settings in the Display as Laptop primary and external monitor as secondary, but it's still all the same display and Hydravision doesn't see my external monitor.
Any ideas?

This advice is for those who want dual view on their ATI Mobility P/M AGP 2x ( A21/2 ).
The notebook I have is a Dell Latitude CPx. The video card is a 8mb.
For dual view on Windows XP, you have to install drivers that are not available at Dell( as far as I know).
To download the relevant drivers, go to- Packard-Bell.
Download the drivers from that page. It is ~9mb.
Once you download them, go to My Computer->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager-> double click on display drivers -> right click the driver that comes up and click on properties.
In the driver properties, click on the driver tab.
click on rollback driver.
Once thats done, restart the notebook. Go back to the device manager and this time install the driver you downloaded. Do a manual installation. "Install from a list or specified location(Advanced)". Next window "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install".
Next window- click on "have disk". the driver is most probably located on c:/pnp/atdriver/ ... Once you choose that dir, you will get 4-5 inf files to choose from. Choose "atiixpab.inf ". Install the drivers and reboot the comp.
Once rebooted, go to the display and you will have a choice of multiple output.
It worked for me.

I have the exact same problem as Harry.
See post 2002-03-12 09:42
Basically, the multiple monitor function for my Dell notebook works fine, but I can't change it back to the original setting so the projector mirrors the laptop screen.
The suggested solution of disabling the secondary monitor in Display Properties does not work. Because when I want to use the projector, toggling the LCD/CRT function button automatically puts the computer back into the multiple monitor mode. (The "enable the secondary monitor" box will be automatically checked just by the toggle.) Please help!

I have a Compaq 700z Laptop with the S3 Twister-K factory installed, running Windows XP...
I wanted to use mulitple monitors on the laptop, but when I plug an external monitor into the Laptop all it does is replicate the LCD view, I can't get the options to allow me to extend my desktop onto the external...
Some have told me it's not possible, others have told me I just need an up-to-date driver, although I've been through a couple of those already and still had no luck...
Can anyone help me out? Am I out of luck completely, or is it possible? And if it's possible what software/drivers are needed?
Thanks in advance...

Jim Gasperini 2004-03-28 07:29
Thanks for the various advice here. I also have a Dell Latitude CPx J. I followed as closely as I could the steps suggested above by Yukon, downloading an HP driver, rolling back the existing driver, and installing the new one (the only difference in sequence is that Yukon said "install the driver you downloaded" but the only option I could see was to "upgrade" the adapter listed there, the same one I had previously "rolled back.")
Alas I still cannot get Display to recognize my second monitor.
Following the Hardware Troubleshooting series of questions, I came to a point where it seemed to think I should have two Display Adapters, one for each monitor. I followed its instructions for adding a new display adapter, once again saying "have disk" and pointing to atiixpab.inf from the HP files. However when I finish that step, the "wizard" (I hate wizards) asks me to choose the make and model of the display adapter from a list--which is blank. "Next" is greyed until I get past this step.
I've tried using Add Hardware to look for new hardware, unplugging & plugging in the monitor, etc. Any clues would be appreciated.

Jim Gasperini 2004-04-01 13:54
I have now tried installing three different alternative drivers:
--the HP driver recommended by Yukon
--the driver on the MS site recommended by Christian Studer
--an "alternative" driver recommended somewhere here with a pointer to DriverGuide.com
With all of them I still see only one monitor when I go to Displays/Settings, and see no multiple monitor options. In the course of the various reboots and rollbacks, which monitor is black switched: I now am now looking at my secondary monitor, while the CPx laptop screen is black. Many reboots ago, it was the other way around.
I dearly hope to hear from one of the assembled experts here, I am at my wit's end.

Tim 2004-11-08 14:02
The key seems to have been not JUST the registry hack or the new driver, but the new driver (the ATIIXPAB.ini) AND THEN the registry hack. I would have probably figured this out on my own, but this was confirmed by:
http://techrepublic.com.com/5102-6270-5053877.html
I had installed the Packard-Bell driver, but it didn't work. Then I tried the registry hack, but didn't find any DisableDualView keys. Then I installed the ATIIXPAB.ini driver (didn't bother with Rollback or System Save Points - still worked fine). But still no Extended Desktop!
Finally, I went back to Google, and tried the next result, which happened to be the above link. Thankfully I had already installed a capable driver, then I just needed to reenable the Extended Destop (DualView) in the Registry.
After all of this, thanks to this thread and the page above, it eventually worked for me with a Dell Latitude CPx after only about 1 hour of work.
Thank God!

The registry fix mentioned earlier worked great for me with my dell cp-x also, I've been searching for a fix for this problem for a couple days and just lucked out and finally found this page from google. I suggest everyone with the same problem try that first before you dl anything, nothing else seems to be needed! Thanks a bunch!

chimera 2004-12-18 11:38
Just another note based on that last post I read, it can take a minute or two for the search to find the keys, on my dell cp-x it took about 5 minutes before it finally tracked down the first key, so that might be what he reffered to, they were definately there though.

I am trying to change my primary monitor. I have a compaq Presario 1500 laptop and I am running Windows XP professional. I am trying to change my primary monitor to monitor 2 - which is a new monitor I just bought few days ago. No matter what I try to do, I cannot get the "set as primary monitor" option to highlight/become available. I have a Mobility Radeon 7200 card and I can only view stuff on my 2nd monitor in the EXTENDED mode. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Teacher Needs Help, I have a Compaq Persario R3030 Laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon 9000IGP video card. When I hook up my external projector it shrinks the display on my laptop. Also when I show a video file to the class it will display only on the porjector screen but not on my laptop screen.

This was the deal. I have a Evo N600C with ATI Mobility Radeon. The extend option wouldn't show up. I went to the email above suggested in the FAQ - followed directions and now I have a dual monitor system.
Life is great when things work.

I have 4ish year old Compaq Presario 2800T that as far as I know has a Mobility Radeon 7500. I run XP if that matters.
My problem is that it wants to have Multiple Monitors but doesn't. I haven't been able to figure out why but it belives I have 1 Plug and Play then 3 default monitors. I've uninstalled them, uninstalled the video card. I got drivers from a compaq rep I talked to. Nothing will fix it.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I recently upgraded my machine to an athlon 64 and Windows XP Home Edition.
The problem is I have an ati radeon 7200 and a ati rage II graphics card. When I was using windows 2000, I could get the two monitors working. Now with XP the rage II driver doesn't start when I have both cards on the system. Used separately they both run fine. Is this a problem with windows XP? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andre

I have a Dell Latitude CPxJ (with ATI RAGE Mobility P/M AGP 2X (A21/2)adaptor). To get dual view, i just created restore point, installed the fresh driver (6.13.10.5779) from the Dell website, then, as suggested above:
* Start Regedit.exe
* Search for the keys "DisableDualView" in CurrentControlSet
* Change the value from 1 to 0
* Repeat until you changed all keys
* Reboot
and then Display properties> settings >advanced allows you to configure multiple screens. Then you can extend the desktop to a second screen. It is not necessary to use drivers from other hardware vendors sites.

Hi All,
I got a Armada M700 with 8MB video ram. I am trying to run a simple game like that requires 16mb of video ram. Is there any freaking way I can upgrade it? The hardware or software, so that I can run this game? I UPgraded my memory to over 500mb already. But that just doesn't seem to help a bit. Is there any Video graphics upgrade for my laptop? I've been searching for days, with no hope. So decided to go for forums to see if there's any bright people out there who's willing to help. Thanks a lot.

Ray Z, it is on the euro.dell.com site in package R35485. The driver number is not shown on the web page but appears when you run setup.exe. I searched for 'ati mobility M1' on the UK web site. John

Yo Jack,
the solution is very simple!
1: Deinstall the hole graphics driver in your Evo N600c(mobile radeon).
2: Download the "radeon 7500 mobile" driver from the Evo N610c model(compaq.com).
3: Install the "radeon 7500 mobile" driver you downloaded, even if windows blaims this driver is not the right one for this graphics card.
4: reboot
5: Now you have those 2 displays, displaying on the "Display propertys-->Setings" panel.
You are now able to klick on "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor"
greets

I had the same problem as many here ... Dell Latitude CPxH that I had upgraded from Win98se to XP pro. The dual monitor feature worked fine under 98 but would not work in XP - even though both screens were available in the Displays/Settings/advanced. After updating drivers etc, I tried the suggestion of using Regedit to change the value set for "DisableDualview" .... and it worked! I can now use dual monitors just as in Win 98 .... many thanks!

bear 2006-06-19 13:06
My EVO N600C cannot recognize the lcd now. If I don't install the graphic driver, everything goes all right, once I install it, the computer will shut up the lcd and output signal to the external monitor port even I don't connect it to any other display.
The FN+F4 doesn't work too.
The lcd with this laptop is samsung, some days age, the series and ID can be detected by software, but now the test result is UNKOWN.
Please give me some suggestion about this problem!~ Thank you!!!
LIFE IS NOT LIFE WHEN MY LAPTOP GOES WRONG!
|
n3twork 2006-06-19 18:52
Sounds like the driver you are installing is only seeing one of the outputs (IE the external VGA port) And the fn + f4 thing is software based you would need to find the xp software for your laptop. One thing you could try is www.driverguide.com and try to find another driver for your graphics adapter.. chances are someone prolly wokr the bugs out of the default ones by now.
|
bear 2006-06-22 15:15
thank you, I've tried to rebuild the system and change different drivers,but it doesn't. I called the HP SUPPORT, they say maybe it's the hardware problem of the graphic card, they may reinstall the card chip or change the motherboard for me,oh god, it means a lot of money~~~

Now you've got me worried...My IBM Lenovo 3000 N100 is arriving soon, with XP Pro, with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. I don't know what the chipset is. I bought an external monitor, would even like more of them if I can get the one mouse to work multiple programs...Anyone know about my model and if I'll have problems?
Thanks! :-)

Paula 2006-06-28 06:48
My worry was needless! Second monitor hooked up fine, although I have to figure out how to keep different programs open on different screens with the new XP Pro. Ideas?'
I now have four screens: have my OLD Gateway with keyboard and mouse at my left, hopefuly can connect my OLD Thinkpad next to it if only with parallel cord; New Lenovo laptop is too hot to keep on my lap, so it gets put on the side, next to the new monitor. How to use the ONE keyboard somehow? Looks great. Now I hope my productivity increases 4x!! Ha!

For some time now I've been trying to get dualview restored on a Toshiba laptop that has an ATI Mobility Rage card (it was OK under 98). Toshiba referred me to ATI and ATI said they don't handle queries re laptops.
There is a 2001 entry here (Christian Studer 2001-10-26 06:23) that says the ATI Mobility drivers with multi-monitor support are now available and to get the driver from the Windows Update site but I can't find it there.
The Tosh reports the card as a Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2X(A21/2).
Anybody know where rhe driver is or knows any source?

Dual View for Windows XP
Several other posts have mentioned this article in TechRepublic, "Take advantage of WinXP's DualView feature on your laptop" (August 18, 2003), http://techrepublic.com.com/5102-6270-5053877.html, but I wanted to draw attention to it really because it really is an excellent resource. The author gives a very accessible overview of the dual view feature of the role of the video adapter and driver and solutions to common problems with them.
The author specifically addresses the problems that people are having using Dual View on the Dell Inspiron 3800 with ATI Rage Mobility M1 video adapter. I've been wrestling with this problem on and off since reinstalling XP on my old Inspiron 3800. It turns out that DualView support was taken out of the updated driver by ATI, but that the user can re-enable DualView by editing the registry. (Search the registry for "DisableDualView", and change each instance from 1 to 0.) This worked marvelously on my machine.

In case if anyone want to upgrade their Windows XP, then can prefer to Drivers, that is a software that is a suite and provides applicable driver according to your need and requirement and thus provides opportunities to get download of printer, graphic or a notebook driver from. You also get free driver download option with this software.
