How to split monitor display into 2

[Booger]

Morning, everyone. I know that there has been alot of discussion regarding the use of dual monitors.

However, I would like to see if I can get by this tax season with just one, but split it into 2 displays

at once.

I already did a search of the old posts regarding dual/split monitors, but I could not find HOW to actually

split the monitor screen into 2, and have one side showing the 2008 returns, while I'm working on the

2009 returns on the other side.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Booger: You'll still be much better off using 2 monitors - much more flexibility. Go for it.

JohnH, that's my plan for next (2010) tax season. Being the cheapskate that I am, I want

to postpone purchasing another monitor until late 2010.

You know, the second monitor doesn't have to be top quality, or even like the main monitor. I have one computer setup that has a nice LCD flat screen monitor for the main and a CRT monitor for the second one. All you need is the proper card for each type of display installed in the computer. You can pick up a used CRT monitor from most computer repair shops for $100 or less, including the card & installation if needed.
