DUAL SCREENS

KENSONY — Mon, 10 Jan 2005 12:10:52 GMT

I noticed with my new desktop I could have 2 screens plugged in (analog/digital) and have the ability to have them both on. Unfortunately it makes both exactly the same which was not what I was hoping for. Was wanting a dual screen setup where I could move a window from one to the other and thus have TV on one while browsing on the other. Is this possible? My computer at work does it but maybe they have 2 graphics cards.

Thanks.

Check this thread. The program called Ultramon will do all you need.

Looks like a good program but it does not seem to recognise the second screen as a second monitor. Apparently it is just a display and does not seem to work. Is there anyway around this?

When you go to the display setting dialog, does it show two screens when the second display is connected?

If it does then click on the second screen and click the 'extend my windows desktop.......' tickbox.

If it only shows one screen or you cannot select the second screen on the dialog box then it would appear that the DVI & VGA output are only cloned.
