Hi,

I'm a complete novice when it comes to hardware issues so please excuse my ignorance.

I use design packages that use a lot of palettes, so I bought a second monitor to free up some space on the display.

I've set them up but the display is the same on both -- how do make the other monitor display my extra palettes?

Many thanks
Sam
 
You should find an option in your desktop settings (Right click desktop and go properties) to spread the desktop over the 2 screens.

There is deffinately an option for it but I'm not 100% certain where it is :)
 
You might also need to install a seperate driver or seperate software for your video card. Check your card manufacturers website and see what they have to say.

I try not to let my ignorance prevent me from offering a strong opinion.
