Another computer question

How can i view two differant pages at the same time? If i click on a shortcut on the desktop then click maximize to make the page smaller,if i click on another shortcut it just covers the first page. I would like to view two pages at the same time.

Are you running Windows 7? You can hold down the windows key and press the left directional arrow, and it will lock that window to the left side of your monitor. Then for the other window, hold the windows key and press the right directional arrow, it will lock that window to the right of the screen. Windows key + up arrow maximizes the window again.

Yeah it only works on Windows 7. Pity because it's probably the best feature MS has come up with for a while. It's great with a widescreen monitor too.

You should upgrade to Win 7 when you get the chance.

http://www.aerosnap.de/eng/download.htm you can try this 3rd party program, I have no experience with it though.

If the windows are in the "restore down" configuration............not maximized and not minimized............they can be resized by placing the cursor at the edge of the window and "squeezing" the window toward whatever direction you wish.

Also, the entire window can be moved by placing the cursor in the blue band with the title............left click and drag the window around the screen.

You can then get one window on the left side of the screen............click on the second window and then do the same thing and move it to the right side of the screen.

It's a PITA and it takes a couple of minutes but you can get what you wish.

Caveat: This is with Windows XP..........presume that it will also work on Vista.

The first page should be about 1/2 the screen size. Just go up to the blue bar above the second page, click and drag it over to the opposite side of the screen away from the first page.

That's strange...........never observed two pages moving together. The top page moves..........all other pages remain in place.
