You need to have a video card that supports duel monitors. Once you have determined you have a video card that can do that and plugged both monitors into it, you go into the display properties (right-click on the desktop and go to properties) and go to the settings tab. Click on the #2 box and you should be able to check the "Extend on Desktop". That should do it.

Josh,
You dont need a new video card. You just need an adapter. We just rolled out 200 pc's with dual monitors at work on pc's with a single monitor video card. We used an Aluratek AUD1000F adapter... All you need is a free usb 2.0 port and about $70-$100. Software on CD, pretty much plug and play after that.....
There are several models/brands on the market (check out tigerdirect) that do the same thing.

If he's going to need $70 to $100 is software. What is a video card with dual outputs going to cost?
