Dual Monitors on Remote Computer

[Tim Litle]

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Remote Desktop
in a way such that a Remote XP Machine with Dual Monitors
can control a Desktop XP with Dual Monitors?
Specifically, can the Remote Machine be configured so
that its Dual Monitors display the same information as
the Desktop Dual Monitors?

To add to this, I am having a problem with remote access
and dual monitors. I am accessing a system with dual
screens, from a system with one screen. On logging in, my
monitor correctly shows the first screen on the remote
computer. However, sometimes when the local user then logs
back on, the first monitor is corrupt, displaying the 2nd
monitors contents, with the second screen being blank.

Does anyone know how to overcome this? Thanks.

I've not been able to get duel monitor to duel monitor to work in remote
desktop. As for the currupt screen, make sure that you have the latest
DirectX and video drivers. I've seen this before that was sometimes fixed by
this.

A MS employee has posted in the past that Remote Desktop won't work
over dual monitors (in the manner you specify)
