I just built a sort of table to put on my desk so that I now have a standup desk. I have 2 monitors, one at eye level standing and the other at eye level sitting so that if I get tired of standing I can sit down. Currently I am running XP with dual monitor but that is not really what I want. I am planning to build or buy a new desktop with either Windows 7 or 8.1, but leaning towards windows 7 since I also have a windows 7 laptop which simplifies things, at least in my mind.

I think I want clone desktop but I'm not sure exactly what that means. Does it mean I will see exactly the same thing on both screens including the taskbar which is what I wan?

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the quick reply. It doesn't seem to be available in XP, at least with my current video card and 2 monitors . I think I just read somewhere that both monitors have to be the same resolution as well, is that correct? If so, mine aren't. Is it available native in both Windows 7 and Windows 8?

That is what I'm doing now but it's not what I need, unless I don't understand something about it. For example, I trade stocks and options using 2 windows, the trading software and a watchlist. If I move my trading software to the top screen my watchlist is still on the bottom so to use it I have to sit down to see it since my monitors are vertical. I also have to move my mouse down and if I want to do anything else on either monitor I also have to move my keyboard either up or down. That is why I want clone mode.
