Cannot Configure Dual Monitors on a Acer Power2000 Micro Desktop running XP...
Experts,
I have an Acer Power2000 (The small micro desktop). The specs on this unit indicate that it is using the Intel 946GZ Express Chipset Family.
Based on my research, I believe that the 946GZ chipset does support a dual monitor environment. I updated the 946GZ driver and I am currently using version 12/12/2008 v6.14.10.5016
When I go into the driver, the only Display option I have are:
> Single
> Twin
> Clone
I have take screen shots of the driver and the Intel GUI Configuration tool.
Does anyone know if the Acer Power2000 supports dual monitors?
And WHAT I am doing wrong?
Inquiring minds would like to know...

Thank you. The problem is that this is the micro model and does not allow the addition of it cards - so I am guessing that it is game over.
I just looked up the manual for this and it has two PCI slots on a riser board in the machine
You should take a double look at that
glad to be of help.

Trgrassijr55,
Interesting, did you look at the graphic I attached? This model is pretty compact. I have taken one of these apart and I am pretty sure that the two video connectors are on the main system board, but I will sure have a another look.
BTW, do you have the link to the manual?

More than likely you video adapter will only support one monitor
You need to install a dual video adapter into your desktop
When you do that it will automatically disable your on board video
