I run dual monitors under Win XP off a single, dual headed video card. I use the Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet for XP to load the two profiles correctly at boot time. One monitor is a CRT and one an LCD. I do not know what Vista has done for dual monitor support but, as far as I know, this applet is the only way to get the seaparate profiles assigned and loaded under XP if you are using a single, dual headed video card. It works. I use the Spyder3 to build my profiles. Here is a link to the Microsoft site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e33dca0- 7721-43ca-9174-7f8d429fbb9e&displaylang=en As an additional note, Lightroon 1.x does not handle dual monitors very well. I saw that one of the things that will be in Release 2 is support for dual monitors. R2 is in beta test now. That would be nice as I am spoiled using a dual monitor under Photoshop CS3. I use the CRT for my image area and park everthing else on the LCD. With a 22 inch CRT, that gives me a great working space.
