from what i was reading and such i would leave my monitors setup the same way i have it now and just plug in a s-video cable and set it to "clone" my monitor so on her screen it has a video player showing my screen. i can use Camstudio to define what area i want to record so i can set it to just get half of that window which would be my main character.

i learned alot from this link http://www.metacafe.com/watch/164790...your_computer/

but im looking for the actual drivers and such to my card to actually do it. ill mess around with it more and post my results in case anyone else would be interested in doing it themselves
