Displaying one program on computer screen and another on a TV screen

B

Flightless Bird
"Low end" desktop computer (perhaps a Dell Inspiron 560 or 580) is running
64-bit Windows with integrated graphics (Intel GMA X4500) with the computer
monitor connected to the VGA port and a television connected to the HDMI
port.

The desire is to display one running program on the normal computer screen
while displaying another running program on the television screen.

QUESTIONS

1. Can I have two programs running and have one displayed on the computer
monitor and one displayed on the television screen using the integrated
graphics?


2. If so, can I change to have the same program displayed on BOTH screens?


3. If not, does it take a different (more advanced) separate graphics card
to be installed to be able to do this? What would be a fairly inexpensive
graphics card that would allow this to be done?



Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Bud H
