My System was having an additional slot for VGA,probably so I stripped VGA card from another CPU and fixed it,restarted but only original monitor plugged in to original card is working.
Before that I see 2nd monitor was working,too when plugged in to original Card.
After installing 2nd VGA,I get following message:
Found New Hardware
Trident Super VGA (Made in USA)
framebuff.dll could not be found
As I don't have WIN95 Cd,I tried to browse this file into desired destination but getting this message:
The file name is not valid.
For reference:
MS Windows 95
4.00.950B
IE 4.04.72.3110.8
Computer:Authentic AMD
64 MB RAM
87% Free
PC Cards(PCMCIA): No PCMCIA Sockets installed

Moreover,I have taken Creative Sound Blaster 16 or AWE 32 Plug & Play from
another computer to try to listen sound of some game Cds,but I get
following messages:
New Hardware found:
Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 or AWE 32 Plug & Play
The file'cspman.dll' on windows 95 CD-ROM could not be found.
Insert Windows CD-ROM into the drive select below and click ok
F:\\Windows95
OK-Cancel-Skip File-Details-Browse
Note that I am not having WIN95 CD,so I can't insert it in F.


Error Deatils:

could not finish opening a file on the source disk.
Source File: 'F:\WIN95\cspman.dll'
Destination File: 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\csman.dll=w_in95_11.Ca'


New Hardware Found:
The file 'vjoyd.vxd on Windows95 CD-ROM could not be found.


I tried to play installed games,but get following messages
File--\WMCI\WWAVE.CPP Line:275
MMSYSTEM 326 No Wave device that can play files in the curent format in
ins.


File VIDEO.CPP Line:2341


Later,I tried to run add new hardware wizard from control panel,it has
listed above sound blaster from Creative Lab but it is hanged up and
not adding it.


Copying these files from floppy to destination will help to add
Creative Sound Blaster.
Can anyone help me to provide advice and provide missing files?
Thanks in advance.
 
to my knowledge, you can only run one vga card. Unless your current card has dual-monitor support, you'll have to stick with one monitor.


Secondly, have you upgraded your computer (or at least bought a new one) within the past 10 years? Sounds pretty ancient. Win95?
 
actually you could run 2 gfx cards either in sli or crossfire or as long as its not onboard and non-onboard. It has to be 2 separate cards. This is what was told to me in another forum... I never tried it so i dk.

SLI on Windows 95 and 64mb ram?!
 
This system I am building just for my kid's playing.I will do a search to know which one support 2 monitors.
Anyway today original Graphic Card failed to work(Blank Monitor),this may be due to it's movement in slot.I have taken it out and other subsituted Trident VGA card come in action,but still asking to add it but I cancelled t's window ,its working.
I have copied sbw9xup.exe and cspman.dll(aft unzipping) to WIN95 System folder,but still sound is not coming when tried to listen game CD---
 
Ancient video cards like the Trident stuff wouldn't support dual monitors, due to the fact that they require low level frame buffer access.
 
Is Intel Graphics Controller support dual monitor?

In my favorite computer,I have Intel(R)82845G/GL Graphics Controller,Video BIOS Version 2759,will it support dual monitor?
Do both individual VGAs have to support dual monitor?
