And now to reply to the two queries below
Quite the computer setup - two displays, with different images! May I ask how you accomplished this?
Tom
To install two screens it is quite a simple operation: 1st, purchase a screen which is compatible with your first or purchase two new screens (monitors)
2nd, if you don't have installed already, purchase a good quality video card, these can be expensive but it well worth splashing out on. Modern ones have two ports to which you attach the screen cables, if your video card only has one port then there maybe a port from the mother board as well to which you can attach the second screen.
To set them up I suggest that you Google the procedure; it is quite simple and only takes a minute or two to do.
The background image on both screens will be the same. The reason that you can see two images in the picture is because I have a web page open on the left hand one. Should I want to look at another page or keep an eye on my emails at the same time I can simply click on top of the page and drag it over to the right hand screen and open my emails on the first screen.
As you may have realised I build my own PC's, this one is the Mk4 and is almost three years old, I'll begin thinking about an upgraded version in the next twelve months or so which may or may not have two video cards so that I can have four screens running at once should I require it.
If you want to have twin screens and your PC is over five years old then I would seriously think about obtaining a new machine or even build your own, it's not difficult, if you can build model boats then you can certainly build your own PC easy pezzy

...did she eat your salad sandwich?
& is that a white My Book backup drive?..........
Many years ago I had a pair of black 750 GB My Books....with the green O as the indicator light
Didn't like the no power switch facility so donated them to No1 daughter & purchased a pair of Samsung 2TB drives with the front panel power switch
Keep the images coming.....

Fluffy puss did NOT eat me butties I was tempting her, she had some bickies instead. She is very good like that and always asks like now 'cos I'm late with her dinner writing all this.
The white thing is a WD My Cloud (3TB) and what a load of tosh it is as well. I did buy as back up but the transfer speed are so bad (3mps) that I feel like binning it. The problem is that my broadband (BT) although quite fast for the UK is nowhere fast enough to make this thing run property if I had fibrotic cable running outside then perhaps it would be OK. I only bought it because I though I would be able to log on to it when I was a away but the connection is even slower there than here (Boarders). Right now I'm seriously considering taking the drive out and putting it in a normal enclosure then, at least I would have some more storage space.
