    How to set up dual montors but one above the other. Windows just gives me the option to put it aside. Is it even possible?

    Forgot to say it's Windows 2000. I guess what you're saying is possible in W7.

    It's been a while but I don't think that win2k offers any kind of support for multiple monitor setups.

    Matrox ran their older multi-monitor cards on win2k alongside of their own multi-monitor software, but who knows if you can still get those products and drivers/software.

    Click on the appropriate monitor in the Settings dialog and drag it above (or below) the other to match your physical layout.

    Multi monitor is supported in Windows 2000: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238886.
