Is there a way to use 3 monitors on my laptop Dell C610 :
1. build in TFT screen = no problem
2. external screen connected to VGA connector = no problem
3. third screen => ???

Why would you want to do a triple display setup on a laptop?
Sounds sort of funny.
At any rate the only way I could think of that working is by adding in a USB video card. Such video cards do exsists. They have a max res of 1024x768 from what I've seen. As for finding one I suggest google.
I don't really see any other way to rig it. Although if you had another computer you could rig it to send a video signal for the third monitor through the network and then display on the other computer. Of course that actually requires another computer (laptop or desktop)

The MaxiVista program is one option if you have a spare computer to run the third monitor. You could also use a PCMCIA video card.

I do need help. I want to know which solution you have for my 'problem'.
Which hardware should I buy (as cheap as possible) or which software can I use (freeware if possible) to connect an extra screen to my laptop.
At present I use 2 screens : the build in TFT screen of the laptop and a VGA screen connected to the build in VGA connector of the laptop.
I know that www.sitecom.com has a USB/VGA adapter, but their helpdesk told me it cannot be used to add a 3th screen to my laptop. So I am still looking for a solution.

The easiest solution would probably be to add a PCMCIA video card, see the FAQ for details.
