    Hi, I've got a rather interesting project here and I want to know if it is possible. This program will have three seperate displays, a master, output 1 and output2. Each output needs to be on a sepearate monitor, I.E. different video card. Well, does windows support 3 video cards and secondly can VB do this? I want each screen to have it's own info showing. Any help will be much appreciated.

    hum....windows support up to 9 video card/monitors

    Windows 98 support only PCI video card
    Windows 2K support both PCI and AGP
    As for Windows ME i can check when ill get home on my parents computer


    Just a question like that, why would u want ur program to use 3 screens?? i mean it will be pretty hard to run on other computer, i mean most computer have 1-2 monitors, not 3

    I want a program to have the three displays in this order:

    control: is in charge of what is displayed
    Output1: what is displayed
    Output2: same as output1 but with additional information. Sorry to be kindy stingy on the info, as soon as it's in production I'll let you know. Right now I'm debating what is the best/cheapest way to go with whatever language/OS. Thanks for the info.
