Mike, I did this with my computer, I use windows XP, so I guess (??) it aint far off with Win2000? It involved installing a second video card. Then after it has been installed if you go to control panel, check under displays you will see that windows has configured two monitors. You can then select which is right or left hand monitor ( or top and bottom).
Its really good when used, I have all the amateur radio icons on the right screen and all the normal (non radio) icons on the left screen. When you open the software you can then decide which window (or windows) you want on which screen, windows will remember their position (you have to check a box in control panel) and each time you switch on the software, the windows are installed on the correct monitor. You can make it 3 monitors if you want! My new video card had two video outputs, so combined with the one already on the computer makes 3. However you need a lot of desk space! Good luck, its easy to do, cheap and great results! 73's de Tony G8DQZ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Bragassa Sent: 24 November 2004 15:44 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Config 2 monitors?? Mostly likely this question pulls ...further...away from "DX4WIN"; but: Two separate monitors for those app's; that sounds really neat. Ok; using a second graphics card and monitor; how would I configure this, in my case, under Win2000?? Mike Bragassa, K5UO Message: 5 Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 16:39:27 -0600 From: "L.

I run VE3NEA's Hamscope and DXAtlas on the 2nd screen, with DX4Win taking up all the screen-estate on the first one. Works very well. It'd be even better if they worked automatically with each other (prefix lookup on the DXAtlas map using DXAtlas's superb lookup, and even rotator control...) _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
