How do I enable the onboard video card so I can run three monitors on a system?

Got a brand new HP desktop and I initially thought I was going to only run 2 monitors on it, but I changed my mind. I now want 3, so I went and got another video card with dual DVI instead of the single DVI HP sent. The thing is HP never enabled the onboard video card. How do I enable it so I can run a total of 3 monitors at once?

Simple answer is you cant. If you enable onboard vid, the add on card you have will automatically be disabled. Your only recourse is to add another video card and then its a guessing game that it does what you want.

Go to device manager, find it and double click it.At the bottom of the box that opens up it will say device usage,enable it there.If it's not in device manager you will have to find and install the drivers for it.I just reread your question, if you have dual DVI,you don't need onboard enabled.You can run both other monitors from the new video card.
