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...
