dual head video card

[2cxc]

Hi, i'm excited cause i got a dual head video card, and was wondering how i can configure it so that i can bring a program on each monitor, casue now what ever i bring up on one it brings up on the other, thanks

The 2 monitors will display only what the system is running.
If you want different programs running on each monitor, then you will have to connect one of them to another system.

What kind did you get? Geforce or ATI?

I'm running a Geforce4 TI4800 dual head to my 19" and 21" monitors.
I'm at work currently, so I can't look at my settings, but there is a setting to extend the desktop to the second monitor.

Let us know the tpe of card, and we can go from there.

What OS are you using? You may need XP before you can run seperate desktop images.

NT

Go to your control panel, and double click display.
Click settings.
Click on monitor icon #2.
Click YES to enable the second display.
Check "Extend my windows monitor onto this monitor".
Click "apply"

And see how that goes.
Been years since I've touched NT, so I may be a bit off on where things are, but that should get you started.
