Yes you can run two monitors with this graphics card.  One of the monitors needs to be connected using the standard VGA port.  The other will need to be connected via the DVI port which is larger than the VGA port.\n\nMake sure that the monitor has the necessary ports for you to connect to this card.\n\nFirst, connect one monitor and boot up the PC.  Once logged in, then connect the second monitor.\n\nOn the desktop, right click and choose Properties.  In the subsequent dialog box that appears choose the tab labelled Settings. You should then see two boxes depicting screens labelled 1 and 2.\n\nOne of these will be your primary monitor, choose the slightly greyed out one by just clicking once on it and highlighting it.\n\nNext, choose/tick the box where it says "Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor".  Click Apply click OK and you should be done.  It's that simple.

first .. you need a video card that have 2 monitor outputs. then get 2 monitors. then use a software provided by the video card company to help you set it up(i have ATI radeon. so i use the software ati catalyst control center ). then just connnect them!!\n\nthere are little pieces of stuff in the procedure that i cant explain right here. and it is different for all the video cards. but try it , its not too complicated..

you can just add another one or change its settings.  The first monitor setting is more or less for projectiors so you don;t want to mess with it.

Install a second Windows XP compatible video card and monitor.  Right click anywhere on the desktop where there isn't an icon and select properties. Click the settings tab.  Here you will find where to setup the second monitor.\nIt is important you use a Windows XP compatible video card. I did it using a video card out of an old computer.  My computer started having problems with random lockups.  I installed a new video card and everything now works great.

Unfortunately you can't.\nThe video-outs you have are the only ones you can use, so you are limited to the laptop monitor and one external is you have a VGA or S-video output.

you can use multiple monitors with the proper hardware...\nas far as assigning a particular monitor to a certain view for thate simulator....you had better be good in code and programming because you will have to rewrite the game to have that happen.\nSorry but  you have to suffer along with the rest of us...

If you have experience in installing/reinstalling video drivers in safe mode, do so.\n\nAlternatively, if you do not like reinstalling video drivers, and you or one of your neighbors have a different monitor, try to plug it in, boot normally and if it works OK with resolution you have now, you can change resolution to settings acceptable for your 1st monitor.

You must have two graphics cards in your computer best of with an nvidia or ati graphics card also you have to connect each monitor to each gpu even if they have two monitor connections only a few support two monitors and also if you play games I don't recommend this configuration.

In a business setting, it's not uncommon to have multiple monitors per PC.  All you need is a video card with 2 or more outputs or multiple video cards.  People who deal with finances, insurance, etc. & deal with stocks sometimes do this.

If you have an S-video out on your video card, that should work.  Otherwise I doubt it.  Further, it appears that monitor was produced in the early 80's, before hi-rez video cards in computers so I doubt you'll get anything satisfactory in terms of resolution and color depth.  If running Windows XP, quite possibly it won't work at all since XP has higher requirements of monitors than previous operating systems.\n\nUsed CRT monitors run about $15 USD now.  You might look into that.

I'm assuming you are running windows XP.  Right click on the desktop, click properties, select the settings tab, Click on monitor 2, click extend my desktop onto this montor and then set the resolution.

you need :\n\na S-video-out port on the Sony-viao\na S-video cable\nto know what channel your TV's alternate input, a/v input, (it is likely the same channel you use to play DVD's on your TV, assuming you can and do.)\nAnd last Windows XP\n\n1. With the Laptop off, plug S-video cable in, turn on TV.\n\n2. Turn-on Laptop, when at desktop, and all programs are loaded.\n\n3. right-click on the desktop, choose 'properties', when the 'Display Properties' window opens.\n\n4. Click the 'settings' tab.  You should see 2 monitors.\nMake sure your Laptop monitor is #1 and on the left of the TV, if not, then click it and drag it to the left.\n\n5. Click the down-arrow, choose the TV monitor, Clear the check-box for 'extend my windows desktop to this monitor' if not already clear.  This will make your TV display the same thing as your laptop.\n\n6. click the down-arrow, choose the laptop monitor, check 'set as primary monitor'\n\nclick 'ok', and 'ok' again.\n\nHope this helps !
