I have installed 2 external monitors to my Dell laptop (Windows XP) but both monitors mirror each other. How can I make one of the monitors my desktop, use the other monitor to work on, and not use my laptop screen at all?

Thanks for the split screen instructions. Now how do I get back to normal. I tried to exit out by right clicking the task bar, but there is no UNDO TILE choice. What’s to do? Thanks for any help.

Thank you very much from London. I can see this will speed up copying from one document to another. Will go out and by a larger monitor tomorrow.

I was trying to find a Firefox plugin to split screen while browsing, happy to have stumbled upon your article although it only mentioned about MS office. I tried with browser and it worked perfectly. Undoing the split screen, I just maximized each screen as I couldn’t find the elusive undo button. well, I’m more than happy to know that I can do these things without installing anything in my computer. many thanks!

1) Is it compatibale with windows vista Intel G-45/G-43
2) can the split screen format be pre set so it will be there after computer re boot

Ideally want right 20% of screen stacked with 3 -4 different windows open for stock quotes bloomberg tv etc

How do you set up dual monitors in XP?

My secondary monitor is a widescreen that I can pivot/rotate 90 degrees. How do I get my display to pivot/rotate as well?

Hi. I am responsible for video display at our Church. We have a very tight budget for sound/video at this time. We use EZtrol and split? sccreen to show our power point on a large video screen for the congregation.

How do I split the Power Point to view on my computer & the wall video screen as we do now and have a view on my computer ONLY that I can view the same or different power point files to make changes “on the fly”? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Even if you can recommend a good “user friendly” program to purchase….prefer free if at all possible.

don’t buy that software. it’s a gimmick. You can split your sceen in the Control Panel for your Monitor. No software needed.Windows has this built in function.

Hi,

I have Vista. Does this work for it? What I want to do is have two Word documents showing on a split screen and to be able to copy text from one and move it to the second. Can this be done?

Thanks
