    Exclamation 2 monitor screens running independently

    Hi all. I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 and a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW, which are both connected to each other. My graphics card is the NVIDIA 8400 GS and I am using Windows 7.

    I have setup the dual screen e.g. my laptop screen is a mirror image of the Samsung and vice a versa.

    What I want is to run Linux via a virtual machine on the one screen, while reading tutorials and other media on the other screen, with out constantly minimizing and maxing on one screen.

    What is the procedure to do this? Help would be much appreciated.
