Dual Display on 8i845Gvm-rz

[Guest]

The 8i845gvm-rz uses the Intel 82845G graphics controller and does support
dual display, yet when I add a graphics card the PC will stop booting at the
white "Windows 2000 setup screen". The board only has PCI slots. I am
using a graphics card that was working with dual display in another machine.
I have set the "display first" in the BIOS to both PCI and onboard AGP. I
have even tried a twin display vidio card but that does not work either. I
have upgraded all the drivers and downloaded the microsoft upgrades. Any
thoughts?

Thanks Bill

Are you sure 8I845GVM-RZ supports dual display? The BIOS might
allow you to select the "display first" feature. However, the board
might not fully support it.
