Context behind problem, I have been tasked with creating a display where we have one computer power two TV's that have been rotated vertically, i planned on doing this with a Netbook and a VGA splitter since both TV's will be display the same images at the same time, but all the relatively cheap Netbooks i have found only have Windows 7 Starter edition. My questions, can Windows 7 support dual screen (Ive read the other posts and not using the built in laptop screen is not a problem, just want the two big ones to show anyway)? Can Windows 7 Starter "rotate" the orientation of the screen for a vertical display? (I know professional and premium can) Thanks

First off you may have a hardware issue with your model netbook on whether or not it will support multiple monitors. Here are some basic guides on ,ulti mon with Windows 7 http://www.microsoft.com/athome/organization/twomonitors.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976064 You can also Bing! for additional 3rd party utilites for multi monitor support like http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/

Sounds good thanks, now to clarify again, do you know if Windows 7 Starter 7 has the rotate orientation option enabled?

Monitor image rotation is a function of the graphics driver, so check the NVidia or Catalyst control panel to see if such an option is implemented.

my netbook has a VGA port and I have hooked a screen up to it fine I do not have a splitter though Rotation is in the driver, and it should be fine Windows MVP, paid Remote Assistance is available for XP, Vista and Windows 7.
