Default [Answered] Enable BOTH DVI and VGA Ports AND S-Video

Here's what I have.

2 19" CRT monitors. Currently they're hooked up using the VGA and DVI(Analog Converter) connections. Works like a charm. I have Ultramon installed, and everything works beautifully.

Now for the monkey wrench.

What I want to do is ALSO use my S-Video output on the card. I'd like to be able to watch movies on my TV without doing anything too drastic to my dual monitors setup. I understand that what I'm essentially asking is for a triple monitor support, but really all I want is for my Primary Monitor (CRT) to operate as normal, and I'd be happy with a video overlay going to both my secondary CRT and my TV.

I hope this makes sense...

I'm running Windows XP Pro, and I have a nVidia 6800.

Any help would be much appreciated...

Hi Extraneous, welcome to the PCHF.

I apologise for noone responding to your question earlier, and i understand that you may not ever read this post. I willl still answer it to the best of my knowledge.


Unfortunately nvidia drivers - that i'm aware of - don't support tripple monitors. Your best bet is to try to Omega ForceWare which you can get from the Modified section at www.guru3d.com - if you're still having the problem.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Marked as Answered - for now.
