Hi people,
I have enough usb ports for an extra mouse and keyboard or two, and my video
card outputs to two monitors plus tv-out. Does anyone know of a way (an
option in XP?) or some software that enables two users to access two
different WinXP user accounts using the two(+) monitors, mice and keyboards?
ie two users simultaneously using the one computer by their own screen etc?
I've heard of ShareView, but that's not what I want I think (broadcasting to
multiple XP computers).

Hello

IN Win XP that won't work, but in Win 2000 server and win2003 you
can.

Are you sure? XP allows multiple user accounts active simultaneously, why
shouldn't it be able to 'use' them simultaneously using different
inputs/screens?
 
No you can't--you can only do it in server OSes(2000 Server and Windows
Server 2003) by using terminal services.This is not a function of any MS
client OS.

For the ones reading technical replies, I would kindly request them to give
me their feedback with another post (in the same thread of course), so I
will know if my advice helped them or not.
