computer geeks, please help!

[heatherrae]

i bought a second monitor to hook up to my computer at work. My work is very document intense. I look at title exams, etc. while I'm preparing other documents. So, having two screens would allow me to look at one doc while prepping another without toggling between windows.

Problem is, how do I hook this up where I can drag from one monitor to the other, etc?

anyone know?

Assuming you have the second monitor physically connected to the computer properly...

Go into Control Panel/Display/ Settings. You should see two blue square representing each monitor with a 1 and 2. Click on #2, select "extend my Windows desktop blah blah", adjust the resolution to match #1 then select Apply. Next fold a $20 bill into an envelope, seal it, address it to 28126 Pea...

You think he's overcompensating for something?

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Is there a video card in the system that supports dual monitor spanning?
