I see I am able to have a desktop monitor up along with my
laptops monitor ... but they seem to mirror each other and I cannot open 2 diff windows on each one
<run the second monitor simultaneously with the laptop monitor>
Are you using Win ME or XP? Win 2K won't do it without special drivers.
If so, it's just a simple click under display properties. I'd be more specific, but my laptop isn't available right now.
