Hello,
Operating System: Windows XP.
I usually use two screens. My main PC is a laptop, and I would connect the old desktop screen to it, and that worked really well. I have recently had to revert to the desktop as my main PC (no problems with the laptop itself, just an application thing). How do I enable a dual-screen set up? If it involves getting a graphics card, how easy is this to instal, and can you recommend a retailer?
Regards,
Carlos.

MS Virtual Desktop Manager

A partial answer could be the Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager, available from this page:
It enables you to switch between 4 different contents of the desktop, using a single monitor, either by clicking icons (1 - 4) on the taskbar or with a keyboard shortcut (Windows + 1, 2, 3 or 4)
HTH a little,
Oliver

graphics card

Check how many output ports your card has. If there are two (the one you're using plus a free one), you're good to go. If it has just one, time to go graphics card shopping.

And have the second PC's (or laptop's) desctop in a separate window. You can launch some applications there to distribute the working load.
The laptop will look as follows.
You can also use it in full-screen mode or resize dragging the corners.

Thanks everyone.
FarkasAndras: there's only one socket that can take the screen cable on my PC.

That serves a completely different purpose. The OP wants to use two monitors on one PC and not the other way around.

As far as I can tell, you need a new graphics card (aka video card) then. (There are esoteric soutions for running a monitor off of a USB port and things like that but they don't seem to be too enticing to me.) As to what card to get and how much you'd need to spend, I have no clue.
