Gx620 Dual Monitor

whitelightrider · 2008-03-04 11:43:03

Folks, I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 running Windows 2000. I tried to install a Dual Monitor card but when it got to the Windows 2000 boot screen, it just hangs. Any idea what could be wrong?

Dual head works fine under Windows 2000 - if the correct drivers installed. By the way, what model of card is it?

When you say "Dual Monitor card"
do you mean graphics card with dual monitor connections?

Do you have old graphic card installed at the same time?
Try to have just one card installed when they both working on their own
then try to have both card installed

You might have to put back the old card, and uninstall the drivers, then install the new card. Win2k did not work that great with hardware changes. Seems quite an old OS for a (relatively) new machine.
