What is the best product for cleaning TV screens and computer monitors?

How is a laptop different from a desktop?
Basically, a laptop is designed to be portable, and can run off an internal battery until the battery goes flat. A desktop is designed to sit on a desk, table, workstation, etc, and is not meant to be portable. Unlike the more compact laptop, the desktop usually has an external monitor, keyboard and mouse, and is unlikely to have an internal battery. Both the laptop and desktop can be run off the mains.

Vista multiple monitors with laptop?
This might be possible, yes. Much of this depends upon the graphics chipset and driver in use on your laptop. Many laptop graphics cards will allow you to use the laptop display panel as well as an external monitor at the same time. You may need to update your video drivers if you do not see the options to do that when you look at your display settings. WIndows should recognize that another external monitor is attached. IF will run it with a generic driver which may not be the most suitable. IF you have the driver install it. to manipulate it, go to COntrol Panel, Personalize, Display settings adn click accordingly. this is wehre you do all configuration, settings etc note that you can adjust the positioning fo the 2nd monitor in relation of the ist monitor or notebook. Choose extended if you want to run separate progams or applications on the second monitor. Sometimes when the NB is config. as such, and after disconnecting it, Windoes ( esp on XP), it still thinks that the second monitor is still connected. WHen the application does not appear on the only screen, tehn GO to this section and manuallly check off the second monitor...
If you shut the computer screen will downloads still run?
The monitor screen is completely autonomous to the computer itself. If you're using a desktop computer and not a laptop, it's perfectly fine to turn off the monitor and leave the computer running. You cannot, however, shut the lid, sleep, hibernate, or do anything to a laptop an keep the downloads runnings. You can turn down the brightness on your laptop if you wish, but you can't shut it off entirely.
How do you watch a movie on your TV off your laptop?
If your laptop has a TV out socket then just buy the relevant cable. If it doesn't, and it _does_ have a standard VGA monitor socket you can get a box that converts this to a format suitable for TV. Ebay for "VGA converter", they cost about $40.
I want to use my laptop monitor as the monitor for both my laptop and my desktop so if I run a dvi-HDMI cable from the dvi port on your desktop to the HDMI port on your notebook will this work?
No. The DVI port on your computer is output only. However, you may be able to find a USB TV tuner card with DVI input that would allow you to pull this off.
