Hi, Thanks for the info guys its much appreciated. Matt :)

...My laptop already has a dual head built in, i just plug my projector into the S-video socket on the side of my laptop, and set the split screen in options. when using it, if you click and drap windows accross to the right of your laptop screen, it re-appears on the projector screen. Matt
