There are an increasing number of cards being supported, either with drivers on the Windows XP CD or via drivers available from the video card manufacturer.

That being said -- getting multi-monitor support to be seemless requires a multi-prong effort. There is a lot to do in the OS, and we've added better support for it. But there are also things applications can do to make their multi-monitor experience better.

Most applications will launch onto the monitor they were last used on.

I use multi-monitor all day every day at work. (Although I am using two video cards, rather than one video card with two outputs). It works pretty flawlessly for me, but I may not be bothered or notice the same issues you see.

Besides the two things listed (dialog boxes spanning two monitors by default, apps not remembering which display they were last used on) are there any other issues you've seen?

Rick,

I know this has nothing to do with digital cameras etc, but as
your'e the only microsoft contact I have seen on the web I thought
I would ask this question.
With the increasing availability of dual monitor video cards what
new features does XP offer? At present I have noticed that even
though this feature is supported it isn't supported that well in
Win2k. Dialog boxes opening in the middle of the two displays etc.
At a basic level, it would be nice to right click on a program and
have the option of which display to open on. Even better would be
to have that as an option in its properties just like option to
open minimised/maximised.
Please tell me that Microsoft are looking into advancing on the
basic dual display features that are currently present.

Thanks.
