How do i spread whatever is on my computer accross two screens.
We have a Lenovo computer that we use in our office. Basically the user wanted 2 screens so she could spread all the files she wanted open accross two screens. We bought a video splitter by VGA as she only has one output for a monitor but that just puts up the same image twice where as we want to spread it accross. If that makes sence. We were just wondering if we need some kind of videocard installed. Can you help and tell us what we need?

LENOVO
Intel Pentium (R)
4CPU
2.80 GHZ
480 MB of RAM

That is all we can tell you as we arnt very good at computers here. Sorry.

Thank you buck 52. That was a really helpful link. We kind of know we are looking for a second graphics card now. Thank you again.

you don't need a second graphics card if you just want to "stretch" your desktop over 2 monitors...?
