Hello,

I am looking for some help or idea's on how to setup the following displays.

I have 1 desktop computer (Windows XP) with an onboard video card (currently not used) also a nvidia NVS290 duel head card.

What I am looking to do is display 2 separate slide shows projecting onto 2 walls in another room. This is easy enough to do as I can extend my desktop, drag my slideshow to one screen & make it full screen and project…also doing the same with the other.

My problem is if I cant see what I am doing because the computer is in the back room & the displays are in another room. Is it possible to have 4 scenes? 1 projector in one room & a monitor in the back room next to the pc showing the same slide show & then a second projector & 2nd monitor displaying the other.

One suggestion was to split the VGA port again so I could run 4 monitors off the 2 outputs..... sounds like it would work but cant find the right cables for sale in the UK.

I also have a Nvidia NVS 295 duel head card available, this has 2x Displayport to DVI-D port.

Or would you suggest another way of doing this?

so 2 sets of clone but extended…hope this makes sense.

Thanks
