I have 1 pc with a video card and so it has 2 monitor sockets the integrated one and the one of the video card, i was wondering if i can conect 2 monitors and somehow usethem to work in the same windows instance, i've seen you can move the mouse pointer from one monitor trhough the other one and so you can have a wider view of windows.
How i do this???

Probably not with what you have. Video cards tend to disable the onboard video, or need it to be disabled.
But dual head video cards are pretty cheap these days.

If your card has 2 ports then try it.
You simply plug the new monitor in. (a reboot may be necessary)
In windows right click on the desktop, select properties and then the Settings tab. YouSHOULD see the new monitor. Click on it and make sure the that Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor is selected. Click OK and you should be working on two monitors.
