It depends on your video card. You have to have a card that allows window spaning.

No,

The damn thing still only shows black & white. And yes I have it set for color. I'm going to try to work on it again this week. For the last week I was working on changing my water cooler. It said it should only take about an hour if that to do it. Well I started it on Monday and just got the system up an running yesterday (Saturday). You see I can't bend my neck looking down without getting a lot of pain and getting sick. But you have to, to look down in the case. So I could only work on it for like 5-10min at a time. Then yesterday I went to slide my monitor back a little and screwed up everything. My eyes went black and a pain went from my neck to my legs and I was froze for about 20 sec or so, but it felt like forever.

You don't need 2 cards. As long as it will span 2 monitors. Try setting your settings for the aquarium like I posted above and see if that will work. I got to go to bed now, but will check back first thing when I get up.

triplef,
Marine Aquarium MD2 is not intended for spanning two or more monitors, (unless you go in for badly distorted images ). It is, as the name implies, for multi displays. (ie. Showing the same on each display).

However, Aqua Garden will span two monitors, - check my reply to your post there!
