Is there a way to link 2 monitors on one desktop and see different files on them?

you need 2 graphics cards, or 1 very good graphics card, with 2 outputs. if you install 2 cards, with a monitor plugged in each, right click on the desktop, select display, and select each card and make sure "extend my desktop onto this display" is ticked. very easy on XP, harder on 98/2k/nt\ni have seen a xp computer running flight simulator with 10 monitors on one computer.

You can take snapshots of 'windows' you have open by do 'Alt & Print Screen' then open up MS Paint or any graphics package and open a new workspace and go to 'Edit >> Paste'\nYou should now have a snapshot of the window you wanted.\n\nOtherwise just use 'Print Screen' to capture the entire desktop.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCheers

Do you speak of two screens, a separate desktop background for each, or one screen with a split background?\n\nEither way you'll need an image modification program, like Photoshop for instance.\n\nSay you have two screens. Make a composition in Photoshop that is the size of both monitor's resolution combined. For example, both screens are 800 x 600. Therefore, the document must be both widths combined, being 1600 x 600.\n\nPut a guide down the middle and put whatever you want in the space. Now save this image into your My Images folder, or place where you can find it.\n\nGo to your display menu. Start --> Control panel --> Display. Or a shorter way to get there, right click on the desktop and then select Properties.\n\nOnce in the display,  choose your background and set it to Tile (must be Tile!). If you made it the right size, it will fill in both screens as one big image. If you painted the left half purple, the left screen will be purple and so on. Use this method for one seamless vista as well.

If both machines have USB ports, transferring files with a jump drive is probably the best method. Jump drives are available for 20 bucks or less and are very useful.

a video card that supports two monitors. NVIDIA or RADEON

2 ways to go here:\n\n1) First you need a dual view video card. A good example is Ati brands that support dual view. a link to one is: \n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=AA29470\n\nThen you need a dvi adapter unless one monitor you are using is dvi compatible. a link to the dvi adapter:\n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=AA14935\n\nIn the Ati control panel are the settings for dual view.\nSome NVIDIA cards also support the dual mode.\n\nIf both monitors are DVI and not VGA - the video card will be a good bit more expensive to support dual dvi.\n\n2) If both monitors are not needed at the same time you can also get a switch like the one listed below. It can be 2 monitors to 1 computer or 2 computers to one monitor\n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=1494095

Windows ME you mean?\n\nYes of course - either buy an ethernet cross-over cable and network them together, or plug them both into a networking switch.\n\nAssign them both similar IP addresses ie\n\n192.168.1.1 for the PC\n255.255.255.0 subnet mask\n\n192.168.1.2 for the laptop\n255.255.255.0\n\nMake sure they're both in the same workgroup and all you need to do now is share the files and you're done.

If you just need 2 PC to show the same data (i.e. files), have you considered File Sharing and Briefcase options in Windows?\nThey could work this out.

I'd give something like VLC a go as you can run multiple copies at once no problem.

You don't have to take apart your desktop PC. Get a "USB to USB Datalink Cable" USB 2.0 compatible. This adapter is intended for data exchange between two PCs via USB. The supplied software has a screen similar to the Windows Explorer and provides a simple and effective user environment.

You need two video cards installed, if you have a regular desktop machine.  For laptops/notebooks with an external display port, you can hook up a second monitor to the port, and use both that and the notebook monitor (you will have to make a change to your graphic settings, depending on your installed video card).\n\nFor a desktop, install a second video card.  Open Display in the Control Panel, and click the monitor icon for the monitor you want to use in addition to the primary monitor.  Select Extend My Windows Desktop onto this Monitor checkbox, then Apply, then Ok.  If you don't see that checkbox, your card may not support multiple monitors.  Make sure you have hardware that supports multiple monitors before you purchase any equipment.  You might wind up having to buy to video cards (one to replace your original card, and one to support the additional monitor.).

Use a reverse lan cable to conect the two. set the network to use almost the same ip. for example 123.123.123.1 for the desktop and 123.123.123.26 for the laptop. Set the same workgroup and turn on file and printer sharing. You should now be able to see the other computer in network places view workgroup computers.
