The "readme" file for what says this?  As far as I know Windows, does not
prevent one from employing separate profiles to the two monitors unless the
video card does not support two LUTs.

Again discussion on what  Knowledgebase on what web site (Microsoft's,
Datacolor's, or some other site's knowledgbase.

Regarding the dual monitor question, the "readme" file still says:

"On Windows, it is necessary to use a separate video card for each monitor.
Multi-head video cards (one card that drives multiple monitors) will not
work because Windows will not allow you to assign a different profile to
each monitor."

So, again not speaking for CD, the answer is most likely NO. There is also a
recent discussion on the Knowledgebase regarding this issue titled "dual
monitors on Windows OS". It again brings up the "hardware-software" issue
and who is or is not responsible for the thing not working.

I also could not find any information related to the new features in the
Utility program. It would be nice to know what each of the options in
"preferences" is doing and what their purpose is. That way a user could make
his or her own decision on the settings to be used.

Does this utility do anything to help the problem with WinXP dual
monitor support? That is when the video card supports dual heads but
does not look to windows as having separate cards (LUTs).
