Is this idea possible(Dual Log in accounts on dual monitors)

[khris91]

Okie i was asked a question earlier today that i did not know the answer for so i decided to do a little snooping and decided this would be the best place to ask it. Ok, is it possible to have dual monitors and have to people logged into windows at the same time(By two people i mean from the two accounts you get to see at the welcome window, that is if you have two accounts) and is it possible to be able to show both accounts at the same time and just have one account assigned to one of the two screens and have the other assigned to the other screen. The reason being asked, and yes i know this is a wierd reason, This person wants to be able to monitor two Star Wars Galaxies(MMORPG) characters at the same time. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated

short answer: YES

there are some softwares that allow you to just do that.


a program called "BETWIN" from thinsoft comes to mind.


EDIT---- BUT, I dont know if you can run the same program at the same time...there maybe hardware/share conflicts.


BTW, this is where UNIX, or UNIX-clone like LINUX/BSD386 comes handy in this situation; no need for third party software....hmmmmmmmmm, by default UNIX allows multiple users to use the same machine at the time.( Time slicing) [ just my random thought, hehe]
