Default Using two monitors on one computer?

My two monitor setup seems to work perfectly, but I am not able to have two websites open at the same time, for example, a website and a weblog, or wiki.
What am I missing, is it something simple?

There is no info there on loading and using two websites at the same time, on either one or two monitors.

Just open up two browser windows ( ctrl + N for most browsers). What happens when you try to open two websites at the same time? I have never had a problem with using dual monitors with websites (only two graphical intense programs), but never browsers.

What exactly is happening when you try?

The second browser always overwrites the first one, so that only one is open.
Maybe my VistaHomePremium is weird.

I am not sure but I thought you would need 2 graphics cards to
run 2 monitors showing seperate sites?

No you don't.. All you have to do is open your Graphics Card control center and somewhere you will find settings to allow the screen to connect.

If you don't have any ports in your computer for an other screen then you need to buy a new card. You might also have a blue port for your main screen which is already connected and a white one. The white one looks funny and is more advanced, so maybe just find the conversion so that you can use your screen.

If you have a graphics card with two outputs then you should just need the one card (at least this is the case with most).

Open one in IE and the other in FireFox. Works for me.

usually just have to change some settings either on graphics card or browser internet settings but best to do as CarbonTerry suggests as then you get to see how your website formats in the 2 different browsers

prunes****er.. thats kinda spammy isnt it?

Just buy a new 22 or 24 inch flat screen monitor that can also double as hdtv and you no longer need two monitors..LOL

Default Re: Using two monitors on one computer?

I have the following graphic card and it allows connecting up to two displays:

Name NVIDIA GeForce 6200
Adapter Type GeForce 6200, NVIDIA compatible
Adapter Description NVIDIA GeForce 6200
Adapter RAM 256.00 MB (268,435,456 bytes)

The displays may function in different ways, configurable. I prefer the one that allows me to work separately on each display but also to pick and drag an open window on one display to the other display. It is most useful when working on a program on one and having the HELP instructions open on the other, just as one example. I have no problem in opening multiple windows with FireFox or Internet Explorer by repeat clicking on their desktop icon. Another issue may be in the browser setting of how it treats new links or pop-ups. It can open these in new tabs or new windows. If Tabs is not a feature in your browser then upgrade quickly. Working with tabs is sometimes preferable to working with multiple windows. You can jump from one to another and back.by clicking on the right tab.
