• XP running 2 monitors.

    Posted by Earl Smith on October 25, 2008 at 10:53 am

    6 months ago I bought a new PC and had a video/graphics card installed so I could run 2 monitors. The 2 monitors work OK as an extension of the workspace area but what I want to do though is have the same thing showing on both screens. The "second" monitor will be facing my customers in my shop so they can see what I am designing for them and make alterations when needed. When I type on one screen the customer can see the same on their screen. That way they don’t have to come behind or lean over my desk to see my screen.
    Is this possible to do? If so then how??? Did I make sense??
    Hopefully Earl

    Have a look in your advanced video settings Earl. You may have a clone option as well as extended (which sounds like what you are currently using). If your hardware/software doesn’t give this option the only way off the top of my head would be to use a video splitter – they do this in our local PC shop.

    If you run the NVidia card like mine, it gives you the clone option as one of many. Just go into the nvidia control panel, and you’ll see the option to manage the displays
