Hey guys,

I'm missing the option found in the screenshot below which I find myself needing:

Is there anything I need to enable, or should I be using another driver version? I'm using 165.01 on Vista 32bit. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks guys!

I think that is an option they removed in Vista because of the dumb copy protection path, so you will need to run XP.

Well that's incredibly disappointing. I was hoping to play World of Warcraft spanned across two monitors.

Any way to hack around it? I need to span one window across two monitors. One of the monitors will only display information using a specific addon, so it's just a matter of getting it up wrap around both screens.

No hack that I know of.

WOW probably runs better in XP anyway. You should use a nice Nlited version of XP and dual boot on your laptop. Or you could burn VISTA in a nice fire, celebrate with a party, and send a tape of it to microsoft and the movie studios.

Fire sounds good. :)

How hard is it to dual-boot XP from Vista? Any tutorials out there I could follow? Vista has been running pretty well for me, but it's flaws keep coming back to bite me in the butt.

[EDIT] Oh, and I found a hack which involves setting the screen resolution manually in the registry, but it could potentially destroy your monitor should you unplug your other screen since it will try and force the dual-wide resolution on it, so I'll pass and drop down to Windows XP again *sigh*

[EDIT2] Never mind. Scratch everything, Ultramon now supports Vista! Problem solved!
