Question about Dual-Monitor - Multiboxing in World of Warcraft and Beyond!

Boiling · 07-31-2009, 09:54 AM

Do I have to setup anything special to use Multi-Monitors or would it be as simple as plugging in another monitor in my graphics card(which has 2 spots)

This is one thing i've never looked into. Once I get the G11 from tim i'm going to try this.

Simple as plugging the second monitor... then you can get a software to extend the bottom windows bar if you want..

If you run into a problem where you second monitor wont pick anything up, and it just says "No signal", go to your monitor settings in your control panel and "Detect", at least thats what the button is called in Windows 7.. dunno bout other OS's

Also, set to monitor that will contain the primary window as the "primary display". In XP, its done in the display properties (where you set resolutions and whatnot). This has to do with how video memory gets prioritized.

I'm hopefully going to pick another one up after I get the keyboard from Tim I won. Thanks for all the fast responses!
