TICKET ARCHIVE -> 2 Monitors on Win98
No Wonder User - Feb 12, 1999 - 7:08 pm
KNOWLEDGE LEVEL: I'm New!
PROBLEM: Combination
COMPUTER TYPE: ??
MODEL: ??
RAM: 65+
OS VERSION: Windows 98
SERVICE PACK: ??
DESCRIPTION:
I'm an expert on the Mac platform, but very new to the PC platform. I have a friend running Windows98 on his computer. He is envious of me running a 21" monitor as my main with a 17" as my secondary monitor. I heard that this may be supported in Windows98 and am wondering if you can tell me what is involved in making this happen - the more details the better as he is not a real tech kind of person. I am, but on the Mac.
