I run Codeview on a PS/2 equipped with an 8514/A and momochrome VGA
dual-monitor/adapter setup.  When running Codeview, the monitor hooked up
to the 8514/A adapter displays a "normal" Windows setup, and the monitor
hooked up to the VGA adapter displays the Codeview information (which
looks just like the MS-DOS Codeview session).
 
What you may not have done (and what I forgot to do at first) is
to change the start-up options for Codeview.  Fire up Windows, click
once on the CodeView icon to select it, then bring up the "change
properties" box by pressing 'Alt-F' and then 'P'.  If you haven't 
modified it, the "command line" entry reads 'CVW.EXE'.  Change that
to read 'CVW.EXE /8' (if your VGA monitor is monochrome, change it
to 'CVW.EXE /8 /b').

Actually, I forgot to change those start-up values twice - the first
time, when I was mucking about with the 8514/A and a borrowed color 
VGA monitor as a second monitor, and the second time when I bought a
cheap monochrome VGA monitor to replace the borrowed color VGA one and
forgot to add the '/b' option.  I thought sure that the monochrome
VGA monitor was defective somehow...
