presenter view to record narration with single monitor

[robro]

Is this possible? I have a giant single monitor setup, and all I want
to do is record narration while looking at the notes for each slide.
I cannot for the life of me figure out any way to sit at my own PC and
add narration while having Powerpoint 2007 show the notes associated
with each slide. It would be a pretty large ordeal to come up with a
second monitor, especially just to record some voice over. Thanks for
any tips.

I too struggle with this issue.

I wish I could "practice" my presentations on my laptop or computer without
always having to keep a projector or a 2nd monitor handy. It's such a pain!

Apparently, there's a null-monitor cable or some sort of plug you can
purchase to trick Windows into thinking another monitor is plugged in;
however, I've not been able to find the link for that. I found it last year
when I was really getting desperate about this issue; but didn't purchase it
because it wouldn't ship to me in time. I kind of wish I bought it anyway.

If anyone else figures out how to do this, I'd appreciate suggestions too!

I guess it's called a VGA terminator, not "null-monitor" cable... Here's link
on how to make your own:

I'm off to find a vendor.
