Any ideas on how I can display two slideshows at a time?

So we're trying to have to seperate displays at work. Two monitors and one dual head videocard. The card can do extended desktop, stretch and copy.

Copy doesn't work because we have to display two different slideshows. We have tried PowerPoint and we even installed OpenOffice. But it doesn't work. They will only work on one screen at a time.

Any ideas? Do I need different hardware, or do I need special software?

Thanks
 
What happens when you try? I know that some graphics chips can't handle hardware overlay on their "secondary" display port (I can't play DVDs via my laptop's VGA port with an FX5200Go unless it's in clone mode). It sounds like you may just be running into an issue like that. Can you play a single slideshow on both monitors if you only do one at a time? Can you play two different slideshows if you keep them both on the same screen? Does the application even open the two files at once?
 
Sorry for the belated reply.

But both will open but will only open on the left screen (the main screen) while the original work screen will be on wherever you left it. Both will be running at the same time just I can't split them up to two seperate screens.

Thanks.
