Title: Big Ideas
Post by: chris48083 on July 22, 2004, 11:33:15 PM

alright, ive got a old Compaq laptop set up in my room.  Its currently running XP and has a external display.  I would like to use the external display and the internal LCD screen as dual monitors. I have a feeling i just have to find the right driver/software, but i dont know.  Anyone know how to do it?

You videocard must be able to support more than one monitor. I suggest you look into your videocard manual to see what your possibilities are.

Most laptop BIOS have a setting for this function.  It will be simultaneous video, not separate video.
