I misunderstood what you were asking for. You're right, there's no real way to do this through the current OS features.

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.

It looks to me that XP rotation is lossless, you can rotate an image in thumbnail view or in preview.Also lossless JPEG rotation would be a huge boon. I currently use

Hi,
I own and use a digital camcorder. Windows ME as well as many other versions of Windows has a limit on the size of .AVI files. The only way to output digital movies is to put them into .AVI format, but they very often will go over the limit that Windows uses. I was wondering if anything was being done to address this problem in Windows XP. Thank you.

One thing I've always found anoying in Win2k is if I forget to turn my external modem on before the computer boots up, I have to make the computer search for new hardware before i can use the modem. It would be great if I did not have to do this in XP. I haven't used XP, but with all the digital camera users that hook the camera up to the PC to transfer pictures, I hope it's going to be simple to eject the device.
I've been lurking around this wonderful site for a while. Thanks
for all the great content & information. I am the proud owner of a
Canon D30.
In any case, the reason I am posting today is the recently posted
review of Windows XP's digital camera/photo features. I am the UI
development lead for just about all the features mentioned in the
review, and personally wrote the Photo Printing Wizard. I wanted to
give something back to this site, and also get people's feedback on
our stuff (if people are willing).
A couple of ground rules:
(1) I can't be global technical support for Microsoft products, but
I'll help when/where I can.
(2) I'll eagerly accept any feedback, either positive or negative,
as long as it's polite.
(3) I can't always comment on future plans, but when/where I can, I
will.
So any comments or questions? Fire away!
Thanks.

P.S. I also posted this info in the "News" forum but am trying to
move the discussion here as it seems to be the more obvious place
for it.

Andrew,
I think this is problem with your capture drivers. With newer drivers that support DirectShow there should be no such limit. The limit comes from old Video for Windows system. Check your capture card manufacturer for updated drivers.I own and use a digital camcorder. Windows ME as well as many other
versions of Windows has a limit on the size of .AVI files. The only
way to output digital movies is to put them into .AVI format, but
they very often will go over the limit that Windows uses. I was

Windows XP. Thank you.
It would be good if all of those online printing retailers accepted Microsoft Passport Wallet ( http://www.passport.com ). I definitely know that i'll be using this feature of WindowsXP a lot, and I don't want to have to sign up for another account with whatever online printing retailer I use!(2) I'll eagerly accept any feedback, either positive or negative,

Also, you need to make sure that countries other than the USA can get their own online printing retailers. Don't forget us down here in Australia!

Nope, it's actually a limitation of the Windows file system. FAT32 doesn't support files larger than 4GB, or something like that. NTFS may not, either; I can't remember. And believe me, it's very easy to exceed 4GB streaming DV to a hard drive.

Tom,

Yes, I did some research and you are right about file system limit. Video for Windows and FAT both have 2 GB limit, FAT32 has 4GB limit and NTFS practically has no limit. So on XP if NTFS file system is used, there is practically no limit on file and partition size (considering you use newer capure drivers that does not have the 2GB limit).Nope, it's actually a limitation of the Windows file system. FAT32
doesn't support files larger than 4GB, or something like that.
NTFS may not, either; I can't remember. And believe me, it's very
easy to exceed 4GB streaming DV to a hard drive.
