multiple monitors

[Guest]

I am attempting to attach two monitors to one computer. I do not want to
"Extend my Desktop" to the second monitor, but want the same desktop to show
on each. I am needing a display over my drafting table so that I do not have
to turn around to see my first monitor as I am drafting. I cannot seem to
get the SAME image to appear on both.

View Same Desktop in Multiple Monitors:

1. On the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog box, click the monitor icon
that represents the monitor you want to use in addition to your primary monitor.

2. Click to select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box.
After you enable this feature, you can drag items across your screen onto alternate
monitors. Or, you can resize a window to stretch it across more than one monitor.
