I can run 1 vga and one herc but can only switch between one or the other, not both at the same time. Is thier software that will do this but vga and vga? software is herc_vga.zip which works good. I know i can run two of the same card with a splitter but i want to use two cards and two vga's with seperate resolutions. Any info is good. all replies to subject: dual moniters only

How would you use two monitors? I know two video cards usually will not coexist, but there are expensive cards with two video out jacks. A big deal with Windows 98 was that it supported two monitors, but the hype seemed to assume that half the screen was on one and half the screen was on the other. The only thing I ever wanted was to run two tasks and have each one on a separate monitor, and so far as I ever learned, you are better off to use two cheap computers for that.

Summary: When I try to Boot my 386 w/Dos 6.22 It starts to Boot and only gets to the "Fill out your registration card" Then it asks to put Disk 1 into A:. Disk 1 is in A:...I can`t get past this message. Help?...
Summary: Hi, You can set your computer to dual boot Win98 and DOS6.22. But it's only possible if you still have FAT16 file system on your hard drive. If you convert to FAT32 there is no way to use DOS 6.22. To...
Summary: That's about right. You can set up a working dual boot with DOS 6.22 and Win95\98\whatever, as long as you make the DOS 6.22 FAT16 partition first, install all that, etc... and then make the FAT32 par...
