If so, please tell me how. Thanks

How about 6 monitors, a small NTSC display and a projector? Dual
nVidia 7950s and a 6600 with an S-Video output. Granted, 2 of the
monitors are using splitters, but we ARE driving 5 discreet video
sources. All of this on an Intel dual QuadCore machine with 4G RAM.

We've got some wierd artifacts that pop up on the out the window view
from time to time, but we think those are video driver issues or bus
timing issues.

Thanks everyone but I'm still a flight dummy and can't understand what you
mean by undocking since the window won't go over to the second monitor so I
can span it. What do I do now?

No problem with cross-posting when done correctly - moderate number of
newsgroups. It's multi-posting you dont' want to do. With
cross-posting an answer in one group is propagated to the others so
one answer covers all the groups and if you're not monitoring the
group an answer is posted in you still see the answer.. With
mullti-posting each is a separate post and hence requires a separate
answer.

Right-click on the panel you want to move over to the second monitor and
select Undock. It will grow a window border and you can just grab it
and move it to the other monitor.

If he did have everything he needed, he probably wouldn't be asking
for details.

Anyhow. The other poster got me to thinking about it some more and I
realized he might be correct. Maybe.

I fly in fullscreen, not windows desktop windowed mode. It might be
possible, if you have the regular windows desktop spanned. Fly in
window mode vs fullscreen and stretch a single window across both
monitors like you might do other apps. I do it all the time for other
apps like excel and paint shop pro, but not for FSX.

For fullscreen mode in FSX, my setup doesn't like spanning. I'll have
to run the experiment in wondow mode and see how that works.

I have dual Dell 24" flatscreen monitors. One is turned 90deg
(vertical / portrait / "tall screen") and the other is normal
(horizontal / landscape / "widescreen")
Resolutions are 1920x1200 and 1200x1920 on a Radeon 3870x2 1gb card.

Good luck, and let us know how you got on. If you have further problems
after trying a few things, come back here and ask. After that, you will be
telling the next lot how it's done...

I have a question - not really similar but along the same lines and I
was wondering if anyone has experienced the same issues.

I had a pentium 4 2.4ghz with 768 ram and a dual 256mb ati 9600
radeon.

When i wanted to utilise both monitors i would first come out of full
screen mode (alt + ent) then undock the features (gps, throttle quad
etc) move them to the 2nd display then alt + ent again to go back into
full screen mode. worked a treat

fs9 btw.

now i have quad core 2.4ghz q6600, 4gb ram and a 768 nvidia geforce
8800 gtx. i can for the life of me not get the 2nd display working in
full screen mode. when i try the above the screens flicker then just
go black.

i have to exit full screen mode again to get the display back.

Is there loss of performance using windowed mode? I don't know why
really but i prefer full screen.

any ideas?

I am sure i have read other users using multiple monitors but i
presume they use window'd mode???

aaaarrrrggggghhhhh
