Hi. I and a friend want to buy a second monitor for my pc so we both
can use the pc to work together but when i went to display on xp, i
realised that i had to have two or more monitors to "identify" the
monitors in "display" on the "settings" tab from "DualView." We are
hesitating on making the purchase for a reason: security reasons. I
want to know if i can create two users on the pc so that on boot-up, he
can logon using his profile while i can logon with mine real-time. is
this possible or will both monitors logon onto the same profile
real-time?
this is really important to us.
thanks
david

Two monitors give one user a bigger desktop.

You will need to take turns at the PC.

Xp does not have this ability, there are 3rd party software/hardware options
that will allow 2 users at once.

By the time you purchase the hardware and software to do that you will
have spent more money than just buying a suitable second computer in the
first place.
