dual screen......

I work on a laptop right now and want to work with two screens ( I do a lot of geo mapping). 

 

What device or program do I have to get to be able to work with two screens?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Depends on the video card you have in there.  Hook up a monitor to the vga port on the side or back.

 

Go to control panel

Display

click on the settings tab.

 

See if it has two monitors listed

go to the drop down menu below those and see if two video cards are listed.

 

Don't forget that you will have to activate the vga port on your laptop.  Well almost all of them you do.  Most of the time it is a button combination of FN and one of the F keys on top of the keyboard.  Usually there will be a pic of a monitor on one of the keys.

GREAT!!!!!

 

Lipps , you tha man!    

 

Thanks and to you!
