    Thanks for checking this out.


    Here my situation:
    Ive migrated my setup to a new PC.
    I added a new ATI 4350 card to this PC.

    I need to display out to a monitor, and a projector.
    It will only let me display out of one port at a time. either the video card or MoBo.

    (Windows Vista)
    In the drop down menu on the display settings menu, it only lets me choose the 4350, will not let me select the intergrated nvidia 6150.

    The setup is used for a projection program, Media Shout, that i use to run a youth religious service.


    Any help opn how to force it to use the IGP and Dedicated at the same time would be awesome.

    thanks abunch for taking the time to look this over.

    Normally you can’t use both adapters at once. Doesn’t the 4350 have dual video outputs? If you don’t have two outputs then you’ll have to buy a video splitter.
    P.S : You’d get better replies if you post this under desktopreview.com

    Well,i dont want the same thging on both screens.
    I want it to function as a dual monitor setup (basicly).

    It has a DVI output, and a VGA output. would that work, having the monitor on the DVI and the projector on the VGA, as a dual monitor setup, it basicly being one big desktop?

    Yes, that will work. You can configure the outputs either from Windows Display settings or from ATI catalyst control center.
