[WriteLog] 2 monitor question

[Jerry Flanders]

It is straightforward, or was for me. I was running two monitors on a Win 
ME machine, then replaced the HD and installed a completely fresh install 
of XP home. The second monitor installed automatically, and is a really 
great accessory to have. One PCI and one AGP, just as you have.

I use this XP machine for photo and video stuff - it is REALLY convenient 
to run a tutorial on one monitor and execute the studied program on the 
other. I took ARRL's Antenna Modeling course on that machine, and am now 
studying video editing with it.

BTW, I don't have a second monitor on the Ham radio computer yet, but have 
begun thinking about it.
