Is there a way to run 2 monitors on a windows xp machine but have 1 monitor
run a powerpoint slide only and not be part of the normal desktop. I've been
asked this several times with companies wanting to run a display at their
reception using the existing reception PC but without the mouse being able
to move onto the second monitor or any windows being able to open or be
moved onto the second window.

Thanks for any replies

I don't know, but those are two of the longest sentences I have ever
seen.

I found the solution. It's called BeTwin which is a $99 piece of software
that allows a single PC to act as 2 different PCs. You just connect 2
monitors, 2 keyboards and 2 mice.
