Twin Graphics Cards

I'm sure its me - has anyone managed to get 2 graphics cards to work on a xp
box? I was hoping to run cdg player control 1 screen, words another screen
(via video out/tv out) but all my attempts have been futile!

Machine has 1 x Radeon 9000 on the agp, works fine. Added an extra radion
7000 on the pci slot, lost the agp. No amount of cocking around could bring
it back.

Any suggestions - I so badly want to get this to work!

Two graphics cards work fine with XP (so do 3 or 4 in fact) but you will
never be able to control them independently in the way you describe. One
will always lead. A few games were written specifically to 'span' the
screens but I haven't seen one for a while now.

Cheers Shugga - that was an old post - Ive conquered that now Smile

However -
The Tricerasoft software players have been nothing but trash. Contacting
them gets you "Buy the other version, spend more money, do this, do that"
when simply writing the software to work f**king properly in the first place
would have been the better option.

So far £200 spent on their software and none of the players will hold stable
and play properly for any length of time. Yet the free winamp plugin works
just great.

What twin screen software are other folk using for mp3+g & kmf?

The fine folks at the Yahoo group Karaoke Universe
have recomended this.....

The person posting it said it ~should~ support
dual monitors. I am going to download and give it
a try this evening.
