yeah, i use DisplayFusion for multi-monitor situations (i think). I've heard Ultramon is good too.
I'd check out Display Fusion first, I'm pretty sure it's free.
How are you connecting both monitors to your PC? With a laptop, multiple monitors is darn near impossible for less than $500 (AFAIK) - open to suggestions on that.
yeh, i wanna do the multimonitor thing with a laptop as well. I'm used to using 3 monitors now, from my job. Then, when I get home to my desktop, I'm like... oh... how awful... only a single, lonely monitor.
