computer question

[sotc]

so i have my laptop that i take to the garden show along with a large monitor. sometimes i want to show a client something on the laptopand it gets displayed on the monitor also. is there a way to have one thing running on the external monitor and look at something else on the laptop?

I think XP allows for two monitors but I have no idea how it works, sorry.

hahaha, your welcome!
looks like it needs a two output video card though, I didnt read the article, I just looked at the pictures

So you're saying you'd like to be surfing the House while displaying a company slideshow or something right?






Yah I have no idea how to do that.

Go to- properties
then- settings
then check- extend my windows onto this monitor

then its just a matter of dragging which items you want from monitor to monitor
