IPS AND ROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Why did my second monitor fail to come up
after I configured and rebooted my computer?
The likely cause of this is a conflict with the emm386.exe program.
Comment out emm386.exe from config.sys and reboot your computer.
Q: Why won't the second display adapter
initialize as described in step 3 of setup?
Check the Device Manager. Make sure that both adapters are listed and
conflict free. If you see a problem with the secondary display adapter, check
its properties. On the general tab, under Device Status, it will most likely tell
you that the display drivers do not support multiple display adapters. If it
does, try getting updated drivers for the device that are multimonitor
compliant. If you are using Windows 98 drivers for the device, then it may be
a limitation of the hardware and the card may require that it be the primary
display adapter.
