brief Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 Originally posted by newfoundgloryboy: brief: which vid card do u have that allows the dual monitors I'm using the Matrox Millennium G450 Daul Head.. It's one card that has two output plugs. Which is not as good as one would hope. You get the spanning, but maximizing windows is a b****, because the maximized window wants to span both screens, as well. It'll be better to just run two separate video cards, Windows should detect that there are two video cards, and ask you how you want to make use of them. My former manager has that setup at his home, and can still just move his mouse from one screen to the next with ease. ------------------ I am having an out of money experience.

Thrik Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 NiKo just try to remember that it would take a HELL of a lot of work to set what you want up, and it would take extra server space and bandwidth. Uploading is simple, even a 10 year old can use homestead (literally!) so instead of complaining maybe writing an idiot's guide to uploading™ would be more constructive ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brief Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 I could easily write a web page that allows for image uploads (and include a member-based password entry)... The only reason I'm not doing it is because I don't think I'll have enough space in my web server if I allowed such a system to run indefinately. Considering that there are many free web sites out there that lets you upload your own images, I don't think it's practical for me to make one. ------------------ It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

Natty Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 Oh for goodness sake, children if we're going to have to play together first we must learn to share... Now if you want me to, I'll create a homestead account and give those who want to use it the password which they can do on their own free will (it's gonna be a diff password to the one I have so that means no getting into my private bizzo) now if you want me to do this lemme know and I'll do it, and then if you wanna use it email me or ICQ me and ask for the password. I could just post it in a topic, but I don't wanna risk that someone could see it and delete all the pics, if I do create this website, it will be for forum purposes only!!!! I'll check it every few weeks and if I find stuff on there that isn't forum related it's gonna get deleted, but unless you desperatly need to store something on there for whatever reason, lemme know so I don't delete it. Me thinks that sounds fair But I'll leave it to everyone else to decide if that's what they wanna do ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

Natty Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 You could just put those you dont wanna talk to on invisible like I do, though sometimes I don't wanna talk to anyone so I stay on invisible... I only have like 3people on my visible list so even when I'm on invisible I'm still showing. I got my best friend, a few friends and I got NiKo on my visible list for some reason Actually I put him on my visible list so that he'd be able to tell when I'm online or not coz half the time I get messages from him at like 3am (according to the time they were sent) telling me to get off invisible, then asking if I'm there and so on and so on I feel flattered though ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!
