Does anyone know how to display 4 different videos or 4 powerpoint presentations using one computer and 4 different monitors?

That doesn't work for video and power point presentations. Anyone know of any items that will?

For the 4 different monitors, Grusomhat answered that for you. When I use two output video's (Monitor and TV) I use the one for my TV to play video's from my computer while my monitor screen is free to do anything I like. Which means, I can open a second video and play that one on my monitor as well as my TV. (That's two) I havn't tried it on 4 monitors but I'm sure the principal is the same. I'm not at home right now so I can't see if I can open 4 PowerPoint applications to see if it would let you or not. You would need 3 other video cards or 2 video cards with dual monitor outputs to use 4 monitors.

If you attempt to run mutiple power points presentations you'll see that Grusomhat's suggestion will not work. I've also noticed that it's not possible to run multiple videos (Windows Media Players) on different monitors simultaneously. As for the equipment I have installed a 4 port video card (one card, two chipsets, supporting 4 monitors). It allows me to use 4 monitors as in the dualview function. But still not capable of enacting multiple video/presentation screens simultaneously. Any suggestions?

"I've also noticed that it's not possible to run multiple videos (Windows Media Players) on different monitors simultaneously." I'll try it tonight once i get home but i'm pretty sure I will be able too. I was playing CS while my dad was watching a movie on the TV from my computer (Though I didn't get very far seeing as how the sound was also to the TV which meant, i couldn't use my speakers to play CS). I'll let you know later. Other suggestions, can't think of any other. Sorry.
