that is a serious problem, but luckily i can help solve it.
pack up your monitor and send it to me and i will send you a 9" black and white tv.




just teasing -- someone who knows gridmove better than i will stop by and help, i'm just your comic relief until then.

Greg: doesn't the "4 part grid" solve what you're looking for?
Just select if from the "templates" menu in the tray icon ;)

Oh, I thought you had already installed GridMove :)
You need to download it from here: http://jgpaiva.dcmembers.com/gridmove.html

Unfortunatelly, something is wrong with the server, apparently the server is down.
I'll contact mouser, it should be fixed asap

once I have the download will it turn my 1 monitor into four?  I am a day trader and need to view the whole contents at once so I cant scroll around the page. Kind of like a securty camera setup is what I need, to look at one screen and see four different pictures. Thanks again Greg

Well, GridMove helps you in placing 4 windows side-by-side on a monitor. I'm not exactly sure if that's what you need.

I've talked with mouser, the server is currently down but will be fixed soon ;)

In the mean time, you could try this.
It's what I use, it's free, too.
