Hi all

I just bought a 23" LCD monitor. So, i have a 19" (the "old" one) and i have a 17" CRT. What i am trying to do is to have the 23" as my front view (primary) and the 19" as a side view i.e. hat up+right then use the 17" as an instrument panel etc. The 17" is not a hassle as i will connect to a spare old PC i have but how do i get a secondary view on the 19"? I have spanned it but i don't want the forward view to stretchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh across the 23" and 19" ONLY the 23" and a side view on the right. Hope i am making sense...

What can i use? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

nVidia call it "Dual View" - I can't remember what ATI call it. Basically instead of cloning the main screen, or stretching the main screen (span) - it provides a wider desktop.

Hey Malcolm

Yes have tried dual view-doesn't do what i really want. I use FSX and FS9 and FS9 is not allowing me to undock windows like in FSX but it gives the option greyed out!

Thanks for responding though.

Hi,

You may need to be in window mode rather than full screen to undock?
