how do I set my screen to display on 2 monitors and what card do I have to install?

Question

So I can watch on 1 and explore on the other..

Answer 1

Well,
The Question is very vague.

I believe we donot require any card for this,if you have connected the two monitors to a Laptop or a PC.

* Try pressing the buttons , and simultaneously.
* Try doing this at least 3 to 4 times.
* This helps to toggle between the two screens.

hope this works.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say any card here because that is for advanced setup procedure; but now there are many dual-head video cards on the market almost every new one is. Since the first Matrox G400 Dual-Head long time ago, but the final say is the Windows system itself; 95 probably can't do it, but 98/Me/2000/XP can handle dual display without problem. What you do is follow a dual display card's instruction and install the driver; after that you see [1][2] on the last tab of Display Property. That is a pictorial representation of two monitors, one is grayed out, select it and enable.

I know for sure Macs have that multidisplay ability decades ago but I'm not sure how it can be enabled.

Answer 3

If you want to go the cheap route just install a second video card, windows xp will support the multiple monitors just install the card and go under display and you can set it up the dual screens there.

Answer 5

if you do not need high end graphics, you can add a pci video card to you computer (you can add more than one, and have as many monitors as pci slots in your computer). Computers usually have 1 agp (for fast 3d graphics) and up to about 5 pci slots. You can have one good agp card (for games and videos) and one pci card for low end graphics such as browsing the web.
