You need to set your video card to "horizontal span" NOT "dual monitors". Look for it in the Nvidia settings.

Works perfectly fine in dual-view as long as you make batch files for the clients(as explained in the "How to box 5 accounts with one computer"-thread).

In Vista, yes, in XP definately not.

Dual-view possesses rendering problems for DirectX games because it treats each monitor seperately. DirectX does not render properly across two seperate displays.

Tried to dual"box" in EVE. Luckily the game has integrated support for dual-view, so it went smoothly, but boy was it laggy when I first didn't know about the settings-change you had to make.[/b]
