hi boss, i only want to play by my self, i have two monitors and i don't have a controller. only a keayboard, how to play with two screens ?

thank you

[Don00z]

you can play with both monitors single player. follow the steps to setup dual screens. Then when you enter the game just play like normal it will span both monitors you don't have to enter any of the extra stuff for two players. The only problem your going to have is the reticule will be right in between the monitors.

@Don00z ok but it only shows XP not vista or win7 , and i have win 7 , but it says that this will work on XP only, why ?

i have seen others with game reviews with dual monitors on vista.

any other suggestions :(

thank you for the reply

[Don00z]

Its because vista does not have the spanning option. I think its stupid but they took it out. as for windows 7 I haven't gotten a chance to play around with it yet. as long as it has the spanning option it should work

[Don00z]

also what you may have seen was triple head or double head to go. There is a company that sells hardware to use multiple monitors for all kinds of games and applications

@jackster137 To everyone try this on Vista or Win 7 with an AMD card. You have to update your drivers and Under the "Eyefinity Multiple Display" drop down choose "Create Eyefinity Display Group" For some reason this option wasn't available to me after simply updating from an old driver. It only appeared after re-installing Win7 and then installing the latest drivers

After this windows should recognize recognize your displays as a single entity with the resolution being the total of 2 monitors
