This is probably a stupid question, but I don’t know how to add another monitor.
I know my graphics card supports it and it is mentioned in the driver.
I use a 17" monitor for my main one, but my old monitor, (which is still running perfectly), only goes to 800×600. I would like to be able to put the pallettes and stuff on the 800×600 monitor, but I don’t know whether or not I can do that with PSCS since the resolution is so low. Will I be able to use that resolution for the rest of PSCS, or do both monitors have to have a minimum of 1049, or whatever it is that Photoshop CS requires? (I always use higher resolutions, so I don’t remember what the smallest supported one is). (Maybe dual monitors even have to both be set up to use the same resolution)???
Also, how do you hook up dual monitors? Is it some kind of a Y cable or something? And what would that cable be called if that is how it is done? I’ve asked at Staples, Circuit City, and Best Buy, which are the only places anywhere near us that would have such a thing, but none of them have the faintest idea of what I am talking about, plus they can’t understand why I would need dual monitors, and they all seem to think it is impossible to have dual monitors.
I wish one of those companies would pay someone who knows something about computers extra money to answer questions, because those places are so frustrating to deal with!
