Guest Brook Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hi All, I am trying to set up my computer to use to monitors, not as a split screen but to be able to have a page open on one monitor, and another page open on another monitor? Can anyone help me? Thanks, Brook

Otherwise install a second video card to "extend" the display. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

You need a video card (or two) that can work with extending you XP desktop. Both ATi and nVidia make video card "chips" that can do this on one video card. Then, using the correct controls (Nview for nVidia / Hydravision for ATi) you can set this up.

From: "Brook" <Brook@discussions.microsoft.com> | Thanks all, | That is what I thought once I got the splitter hooked up. | Brook Like it was already stated... If it is a splitter all you'll get is the SAME display on two monitors. You need a graphic interface capable of driving two or more monitors to extend the video across two screens. I've got one guy in my office with three 19" FP monotors. Dell Latitude D620 on a full size Latitude Docking Station. 1 monitor on VGA 1 monitor on DVI 1 monitor on on VGA connected to PCI video card inserted into PCI slot on the docking station. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
Guest Brook Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Re: One Computer / 2 Monitors? Hello again, My video card has VGA, S-Video, and another adapter port, can I just convert one of my monitors to S-Video? How do I know if my video card supports Dual Video?
