[Logic] Running 2 monitors

Steve:

It all depends.  I believe you have to be running win98 or better for this to work, I don't recall if win95 supports multiple monitors or not.

When I was running a win98 machine I simply installed a spare video card I had laying around.  It worked perfectly.  The only software you need is the driver (which may be included with your windows system) that came with the video card.  Once installed you go into display properties and let the system know you have two monitors.  I don't recall exactly how I did it, but I do remember it was very easy.  I probably went into the win98 help files for direction.

When I upgraded to winXP I had to have my computer retailer install a Dual head video card.  For what ever reason my XP machine would not support two separate video cards.

I'm sure you will get several more replies.  I think there are several users of Logic that use multiple monitors.  I think its a great way to manage all of the programs we may run at one time.

I have a cable  hook up and im running 3 computers thru a router to accomplish the task now. Lots of possibilities I suppose.  I ran a quick search and see there are cards where you can run 20 monitors, Is all this done with software to control them I suppose? Any info is appreciate either private or the group if you think others might be interested....
