To start with, get the two PC's connected via a network, and make sure they are talking to each other.

Then install Max on the second machine.

When you've got that far give me a shout and we'll go through it. "greeney" is right, it IS simple, but get a 'backslash' in the wrong place and.......well.......instant hair loss.

Anyway.....whenever you're ready mate.

Regards.
Thanks mate I appreciate that, Ill give you a yell when Im ready, it might be a few weeeks because were still sorting a few things out with the new computer, but ill let you know when im ready.

Just wanna ask though, will i need the screen for the second computer? or just the one screen on the main computer?

cheers
