How do you run windows on two different moniters?

Answer 1

I'll answer as far as Windows XP is concerned. Other versions may require different steps. 1) Have a video card that has two outputs on it! THIS is very important. You can also do this if you are using a laptop that has a video output connection.

2) Hook up both monitors to the computer.

3) Click on start, Control panel.

4) click on display

5) go to the settings tab. In there (if all the drivers are installed you should see some options to setup the second monitor. Good luck!
