I'm trying to understand horizontal view
Hey guys I am fairly new to this dual boxing stuff. I have a 22" monitor that I have been playing wow on and I have an old 17" sitting in my closet that I am thinking about using as well. If I set up my graphics card to run horizontal span, does that basically mean in essence that the 2 monitors are operating as one giant computer screen? That is my understanding of it.
If that is the case, then would I set up 1 region as 1680x1050 as my main then I could set up my second region on monitor 2 as say 800x600 and makes its position be 1680,0? Am I on the right track with this? Thanks for the help for the noob.

One issue: Your monitors must run in the same resolutio nfor span to work. If you have a 22" and a 17" I'd wager it's a wide 22 and a 4:3 17... different resolutions, no dice for span.

You are right zanthor. Would I be better off just alt-tabbing then on my main monitor?
