Remote PC is a laptop using dual external monitors via Matrox DualHead2Go device. This device forces the dual dispplays to a span mode. Running application "Splitview" from Splitview.com on Host PC to assist with treating remote dual displays as individual monitors. However it needs to use RDP with the /Span switch.Peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10055506214212216397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453126.post-59055377285671925762007-07-11T20:07:00.000-07:002007-07-11T20:07:00.000-07:00Vista is not required (on either client or server).
