Tony, Windows 2000 and Windows XP (Home and Pro) support multiple (not just 2)monitors. For hardware, you can buy one of the fancy dual-monitor video cards, or just insert 2 video cards in your PC.
I run a pair of monitors here, driven by a Radeon dual-video card. The secondary monitor displays DX-Telnet, Echolink, and the DX4WIN "Packet" and "DX spots" windows. In the primary monitor, I keep my browser, email, and the collection of active DX4WIN panels: "main", "same call", "QSO", "state", "country", and "CW keyboard". All of the DX4WIN panels are arranged so that the only overlap is with DX-Telnet and Echo-link in the secondary monitor, and my email and web browser programs in the first monitor. And, of course, all of these programs remember which monitor and positions the panels are in... so when you launch your applications everything returns to its previous location. -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Lord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 4:55 AM Subject: [Dx4win] 2 monitors Hi all, a question for you! When I am using DX4WIN I have a number of windows open, as usual the one I want is hidden at an appropriate time. Is anyone aware of software (or hardware) that allows two monitors to be connected to one computer AND allows separate information to be displayed on each monitor. Not just mirror image on both screens (like when one connects an external monitor to a laptop??)
