Your computer must have the following
if you want to use 2 monitors at once the Graphics card MUST i repeat MUST have 2 output connections. If it doesn't either get a card that does or just put up with using the 1 monitor. the easiest way to find this out is to take a look at the back of the box. If the card has one 15 pin socket and one multi pin socket it should be ok. You the have to install the second monitor and if using windows go to display properties. you should the go to the settings tab and left click on it. You should see 2 monitors and if this is the case left click on monitor 1 then find the box marked extend my windows desktop onto this monitor and chek (tick) it, then left click on apply in the bottom right corner. this should enable you to use both monitors as 1 big monitor.

You will need another graphics card which has a VGA port so that you can connect the monitor.

If you have a Matrox Graphics card, it has dual output so you can do this easily, or you can buy another graphics card.
