1 PC / 2 monitors
Is there a way to run 2 monitors on a windows xp machine but have 1 monitor
run a powerpoint slide only and not be part of the normal desktop. I've been asked this several times with companies wanting to run a display at their reception using the existing reception PC but without the mouse being able to move onto the second monitor or any windows being able to open or be moved onto the second window. Thanks for any replies Michael |

Thanks for any replies Michael I don't know, but those are two of the longest sentences I have ever seen. -- I used to have abs. Now, I've just got ab. One big ol' Ab. - BigSkiff www.titanspot.com Pyongyang sounds more like the sound effect an ACME catapult makes as it goes off at precisely the wrong moment for Wile E. Coyote. - Cadbury Moose |

news:LU%Dg.305$xk3.99@dukeread07... I don't know, but those are two of the longest sentences I have ever seen. I found the solution. It's called BeTwin which is a $99 piece of software that allows a single PC to act as 2 different PCs. You just connect 2 monitors, 2 keyboards and 2 mice. Michael |
