Wednesday, December 24, PM. Hi, Please take the following steps to enable Multiple Monitors. Click Display settings. When I maximize any window on my computer, though, it will fill the screen that it's on but not both. To help clear things up, take a look at the images.

The first one is a screen capture with all of my windows minimized. The division that is seen is the border between the two monitors.

When I want to move between them I just move the mouse, or window, in the corresponding direction. In the second image I've brought up the instructables website on the right, another browser playing a video on the left, and a third window in between them.

To see how this looks on the monitors just take a look at the last image. In conclusion, I hope this instructable has been helpful. I mainly want people that are using laptops, or wishing they had larger screens, to realize what a normal person can easily do to help make their lives easier. I mainly use this to watch video on the second monitor while I do other things on the laptop LCD.

This lets me do other things without having to resize windows to ridicules dimensions. I've only have this setup for a day and my computer handles it just fine although the second monitor does tend to flicker every once in a while due to age.

Hope you've enjoyed and found this helpful and insightful! Thanks for reading! You can also try this guide too!! Reply 7 years ago on Introduction. Reply 12 years ago on Introduction. This may sound like a stupid question, so please forgive me, but how do I check if my laptop has a graphics card with multiple outputs? The only stupid question is the one not asked!

Checking for a video output on your laptop isn't at all difficult. You'll be able to tell very easily be checking to see if there's a port on it that matches up with the monitor cable. Basically, if the plug on the end of the monitor cord fits into one of the ports, then that's most likely the one you're looking for, Additionally, because most newer computers have the ports color coded, the one you're looking for will probably be blue.

The image i've included is rather blurry, but the blue thing is the video output port on my laptop, and it's a 15 pin adapter. Hope that helps! Seriously though,those gauges take a lot of space!
