Challengin? dual screen set-up
I am a (struggling!) professional photographer and I have recognised the
need to replace my PC. One of the requirements I have come up with is to have a two screen environment where I can have one screen 'client-facing' on which they only see full-screen slideshows or individual images, controlled from applications run from the other monitor. (When slideshows or single images are not being presented, it should default to blank, a controlled wallpaper or a standard slideshow.) So, for example, I might want to run a slideshow from - for example - ACDSee on the 'control' monitor and for the card management to know that full-screen slideshows are to go to the client screen. Ideally, the control monitor would have a window showing what is on the client monitor at any one time. I don't want the client to see *any* Windows objects: task bar, title bar, etc.. If it makes any difference I would like the screens to be flat panels as I wish to use this set-up in the field. Does anyone know if this can be achieved with Matrox cards and software and how? Thanks, pearsos |

There is actually a simpler method - use PowerPoint in Presenter view. One
monitor shows the slide show (embedded with videos, if you want), and the other a control screen. "pearsos" wrote in message ...
