If you are connecting multiple monitors to a computer then you would need to purchase an adapter or switch that allows you to have more monitors.

A number of companies manufacture a switch that allows two computers to be used from the same keyboard / mouse / monitor... Some switches can have 3 and 4 computers run from the same controls... Check out tigerdirect.com compusa.com\nand other big retailers to see who has what available today.\nThese types of devices have been manufactured since the 286,\nbut come and go on the fringe market... There are some with old 9 pin mouse, large DIN keyboard ports ( XT / AT keyboards ) and even 9 pin TTL / EGA monitor plugs, while now, they are made with PS/2 mice, 15 pin monitor plugs, and\nsmall DIN PS2 keyboard plugs...  I see these devices from time to time, but pricing and availability change daily, since only a few people use them... \n Products at Tiger like:\nB451-3028\nB451-3026\n are tiny everyday use, but you can pay hundreds of dollars for electronic, high-end switches that use expensive Dual-PCI-express videos or HDTV / DVI etc. monitor outputs...\n hope this helps

2 ways to go here:\n\n1) First you need a dual view video card. A good example is Ati brands that support dual view. a link to one is: \n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=AA29470\n\nThen you need a dvi adapter unless one monitor you are using is dvi compatible. a link to the dvi adapter:\n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=AA14935\n\nIn the Ati control panel are the settings for dual view.\nSome NVIDIA cards also support the dual mode.\n\nIf both monitors are DVI and not VGA - the video card will be a good bit more expensive to support dual dvi.\n\n2) If both monitors are not needed at the same time you can also get a switch like the one listed below. It can be 2 monitors to 1 computer or 2 computers to one monitor\n\nhttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=1494095

My source shows how it can be done, but be warned--it's NOT easy.\n\nBetween all of the parts you need to do it (including the driver chip unique to that panel) and all the time you'll spend doing it, it's probably more efficient (in time and money) to just go buy an LCD monitor.

You can extend your desctop on the second monitor if you have one. This way the second monitor will not display just a copy of the primary one, but there can be placed individual windows there and etc. The only limitation is that you cannot have different background picture on each of them :)

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.

Verify you have installed the correct drivers for your video card and also that you have the display connected to the correct video card port.  It's not uncommon to have several places to connect a monitor on a PC.

yes, you can.  What you need is either a monitor with red, yellow, and white inputs, or a monitor that will have them built in.\n\nGoogle around for a cable that will do it, im not sure that there is one, but I havent looked that hard.

My suggestion, get a wireless router.  It will plug into your desktop and then you can access files and your high speed modem and printer from your laptop without having to worry about cables or anything.\n\nThat is the system I have a home with 2 desktops and 3 laptops.

if your video adapter is having two output modes you can connect two monitors to your pc and can work simultaniously on both of the monitors.

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.

Connect them to two USB ports or install a second parallel port. Check any computer store.

windows 98, and windows xp support adding multiple monitors on ur desktop or ur laptop. all you need is a free expansion slot, and another vga adapter that goes on that expansion slot, so now u can have two monitors, i have successfully tested upto three monitors on one pc. this way u can configur ur windows to display different programs on different monitors. like u can drag MS word window to ur monitor number two, and ur internet explorer window on monitor number one, and then u can have ur chat converstaions on monitor three. \n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/northrup_multimon.mspx\n\nAnother way to habve multiple monitors is to add video extender devices. which support two to 16 monitors on one vga card. so typically in a classroom u wish every one to see what u have on ur monitor. The output from ur vga card goes to the video splitter/extender, and then u can add monitors to the video splitter\n\nhttp://www.startech.com/ststore/itemdetail.cfm?ProductID=ST124UTP&mt=\n\nThis will help definitely

It all depends on what you are doing.  Having three monitors is nice because you get lots of extra desktop area to work, but if you plan on doing multimedia (games, movies, etc...) it is better to only have a single larger monitor.  Besides, to have three monitors you need three video cards (or at least a video card with three outputs) - very expensive.

yes it can be done it looks like a y splitter about 5-10 dollars a piece at radio shack an you only need 1 video card i know this because im using a dual monitor pc right now!

1. Connect the S-Video cable on both laptop and TV in any order (first or second is irrelevant)!..\n\n2. Find the icon which belongs to your video card in your computer (mine is ATI), make right click on it. Then follow to  "settings" tab, and then left click on the "display settings tab".\n\n3. On the "multiple monitors" "pop out window" click on the "display" tab and then press on the TV button!..\n\nAt the end of this step you have to be able to see your computer desktop on your TV!...Your TV has to be in a specific channel (mine works on the 00 channel which is were I get the signal. -For some TVs might work on 3 or 4, or maybe you have to find it and surf all available channels in your TV-)!...\n\nIf your whole desktop or the whole full screen of your movie can't be seen on your TV, then you need to right click on your desktop and click on "properties", and on the "Display properties" tab adjust the resolution (mine works on the 1024x768 pixels - My TV is a 27 inch-)!...\n\nGood Luck!...

Then when you get the card installed, just right click on your desktop and in your display settings just turn on the second monitor (if you have one hooked up. Then adjust settings to determine which is the right and left monitor and there you have it. Then your mouse and keyboard will both work for both monitors since your computer is just using one (simulated) super wide desktop that actually covers 2 monitors. For example if your mouse is on screen 1 and you move it to the right and off the edge of the screen, it will come up on the other computer.
