How do I install two video adapters drivers using the same WDDM driver?

Microsoft said: "The user could change the graphics hardware configuration
by choosing multiple graphics adapters that use the same WDDM driver.
Graphics adapters from the same ASIC family generally have the same graphics
driver.
In late 2006, each of the major graphics vendors had a single WDDM driver
for all supported WDDM graphics adapters."

We we trying to upgrade all the Vista systems with Nvidia GeForce FX5500
adapters in our office to dual displays. So, how do we do it?
 
I use Multiple Monitors on Win Me. I was trying to set up an XP hard drive
the other night for use with 2 monitors and found that all my Video Adapters
did not have drivers for XP...bummer there. This note I got from an ebay ad.


"This is a PNY GeForce FX5500 Video card. It has 128 mb of onboard memory.
It uses the PCI interface. It has dual VGA outs and also has a S-Video out.
This video card can use two monitors or one monitor and one TV (via the
S-video out).
I used this video card along with the program Ultra mon to spread my desktop
over two video monitors. "

It suggests that one must use the "Ultra mon" program to make it work.

When you get the solution, be sure to post back with the directions, to
close this loop.
