I reinstalled the OS onto one of my machines tonight and added another video card to try to get the multiple monitors working on it. The first card is an NVIDIA Riva TNT2 Model 64 AGP and the second card is a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 400 PCI. Strange thing is...when I booted the machine to begin the install....the display came up on the second card...the PCI one...and wouldn't display anything on the AGP one. So I got XP Professional Corporate edition installed and when I go to to Device Manager and check for any conflicts...I don't find any...or at least none have the yellow exclamation points on anything. I check the properties of each display adapter and they show no conflicts. I went to microsoft's website and found information about getting the multiple monitors to work and what the directions there say...I can't find on my system here....Here is what their docs said...
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
On the Settings tab, click Identify to display a large number on each of your monitors. This shows which monitor corresponds with each icon.
Click the monitor icons and drag them to positions that represent how you want to move items from one monitor to another, and then click OK or Apply to view changes.
Well I did like it said and I don't see "Identify" on the Setting Tab
Here is the URL if any of you kind people want to see it:

Thanks for any insight into this problem...
