Dual Monitors

[sampson]

I just got a second monitor and I've heard of a simple program that lets you switch between monitors with your mouse. Just move the corsor to the edge of the screen and go a little further and the mouse will be on the other screen. Anyone heard of this or know the name of the program??

Also, know of any good sites with dual monitor screensavers and/or wallpapers?

It's called Windows XP.

Go to your graphics properties and you can set it all up. On the desktop right click-properties-settings.

You will obviously need to have two graphics cards. The motherboard onboard card and a seperate card will do.

A nice dual-head(for instance matrox) will do better.

Mixing onboard graphics(i hate onboard-anything) with another card can/will mess

up your performance.

if you're using an nVidia video card, then try nView which u can dl from their website. But ever better is UltraMon, which I am using now. has tons of features, and free (if you can somehow get a registration code from someone... hint hint )

But what about screensavers. For instance, the screensaver that I use is 'Serenescreen', a very realistic aquarium screensaver. (This is just an example of what I'm looking for) Can I get a program that will allow the fish to swim from one screen to another as if it were one screen?
