You can, but this is nothing to do with MSP8 but with your graphics card. Once you have your 2 screens working, you can set up your layout to suit your needs. However, not all graphics cards supporting 2 screens are equal and each make works differently; this may limit how your preview works.

yes i know i can setup 2 monitors with the card we have but its the overlay preview i want to know how to setup for the actor to see so say on the main monitor i would have the actor and the green screen now i would assume somehow i would overlay say the weather background can i then project this onto a second monitor for the actor to see, i dont know if this can be done with msp8 or if it can how would i go about doing it.

Some apps don't make any use of two monitors.
Some graphics cards don't allow overlay on two monitors.
You may have to upgrade your graphics to do this, update your drivers, or try turning acceleration off on both monitors.
