Rage Fury Pro/Xpert 2000 Pro / Sony VAIO PCV-7762 - Dual monitor

[loerchner]

I've installed a - Rage Fury Pro/Xpert 2000 Pro (32 Mg) into a Sony VAIO PCV-7762. The new card works fine but it seems to turn off the SONY display adapter. I need to run two monitors. My drivers are updated but it's not working. It's like it doesn't even recognize the VAIO adapter in the monitor settings.

Help?

Try to get into the BIOS and see if you can enable it manually. I would expect you will not be able to do it. Name brand compters are very hard to work on. The motherboard's bios is usually very unforgiving.

You will need to get a monitor that will support 2 monitors. I highly doubt you will be able to get the onboard video enabled while using a video card. PLUS, even if you do, it will display the exact same thing as the video card. If you are using 2 monitors for an extended desktop, what you are trying will not work.
