If you're using an updated version of Vista then it will have already detected the second monitor, so there's no need to do any hardware configuration.
The next thing you'll want to do is minimize all of your open windows, right click on the desktop background, and click on "Personalize". This will pull up the "Personalize appearance and sounds" window. From here you will click on "Display Settings". This will open the Display Settings program. Once you have done this you will see something like the image below. If you have a second video card installed on your computer then you will see two graphical representations of computer monitors.
If you have more than two video cards then you will see a graphic corresponding with each video card you have installed. The monitor you are currently using is "1". We are wanting to turn on monitor "2". Click on the box with the 2 in it and you'll now be dealing exclusively with the second monitor. Once you've done this you'll see something similar to the window shown in the second image.
By now you've probably clicked the "Extend the desktop onto this monitor" checkbox and seen your second monitor display an image of your desktop background. If you haven't then now would be a good time to do so.
Once you've done this you can use your second monitor as is, but it's helpful to align it, and set the proper resolution. To align the second monitor in relation to the first one you just click and drag the "2" box until it's in approximately the correct position as related to where the monitors are actually sitting on your desk.

The trickiest part of the entire dual monitor setup is learning how to use it. What we've done is enlarge the desktop and stretch it across two monitors. With mine setup as shown in the pictures, when I move my mouse to the far left side of the laptop monitor it will vanish from my laptop screen and immediately appear on the right side of the screen on the second monitor.
Basically, just pretend that you have one monitor and you've cut in half and it magically still works. When I maximize any window on my computer, though, it will fill the screen that it's on but not both.
To help clear things up, take a look at the images. The first one is a screen capture with all of my windows minimized. The division that is seen is the border between the two monitors.
When I want to move between them I just move the mouse, or window, in the corresponding direction. In the second image I've brought up the instructables website on the right, another browser playing a video on the left, and a third window in between them. To see how this looks on the monitors just take a look at the last image. In conclusion, I hope this instructable has been helpful.
I mainly want people that are using laptops, or wishing they had larger screens, to realize what a normal person can easily do to help make their lives easier.
I mainly use this to watch video on the second monitor while I do other things on the laptop LCD. This lets me do other things without having to resize windows to ridicules dimensions. I've only have this setup for a day and my computer handles it just fine although the second monitor does tend to flicker every once in a while due to age.
Hope you've enjoyed and found this helpful and insightful!
