I am running multiple screens from a single CPU through a VGA splitter, as all the screens have same display function with CPU. but i want to display different tasks on each of the screen. is it possible through VMWare Workstation or Virtualization. i need help about the hardware required and software for it. thanks

OK, I am not a super technical person, thus I never thought of this until now (DUH). I’ve been using a heavy hot laptop perched on my lap now for several years. It is running from my wireless router, so thats one step into the future I’ve made. But I am SO tired of holding onto this hot heavy laptop, I want to make the next leap into the future – Would it be fairly easy to put the (Sony Vaio) laptop over on the desk, hook some type of video wire from the laptop’s CPU output plug to the input on my new HDEF LCD living-room TV (it has many inputs including SVideo and HDMI ports) – and then get a wireless-keyboard, and have that as the only thing I keep in my lap? What I am not clear on are (1) what type of wire/connection do I need between the laptop’s cpu and the digital flatscreen TV, and (2) how do the wireless-keyboards work – again how does it ‘transmit’ or communicate from the wireless keyboard to the laptop’s cpu? is there something that plugs into the side of the computer’s ports to ‘talk’ to the wireless keyboard (which port, USB, ??) Sorry if some of these questions are naive but I am not a real high tech person. Can this be done pretty easily with today’s technology? I think it would be SUPER to be able to surf the net, with the PC display on the big screen hdef tv, and just the light little wireless keyboard in my lap. Has anyone done this, or any suggestions/recommendation/help on setting this up – thanks very much !!
update: my sony vaio laptop is a few years old – model PCG7R2L – looking at all its ports, I don’t think I see any HDMI (pc maybe a bit too old?) – it appears to have a little socket labeled S400, a round "S Video" socket, and a 15 pin "VGA" port. Which of these is easiest or best one to hook up to the TV to see the PC display properly ?

I just upgraded from windows vista to windows 7. I have always used my TV as a dual monitor using a VGA cable, however now, when I go into the screen resolution properties, it only shows that there is one monitor and wont give me the option for two, anyone know why this is?

Thank you!

ok, my desktop runs xp pro. its graphics card has to dual vga out. if i put another monitor, additional mouse and keyboard (both usb), can i run virtual, sort of 2 pcs that can play games on lan? if this is possible, how to do this, what software to use?
thanks,
