You saved me a good bit of money on a 4 monitor video card! I run 2 monitors from my desktop and a 3rd monitor synced with my laptop screen. All of my work is web-based, so running two computers is quite functional. Thanks again! Ryan,

The only thing that dosen't work is the theme is not applied correctly to the second tool bar. Not a big deal just makes it a little hard to read.

Maybe I'll try it anyways. UltraMon looks pretty sweet but it doesn’t explicitly say that it supports Windows Vista. Maybe I’ll try it anyways.

I've been using two monitors, both different sizes, for a few years and ultramon lets you set costom wallpapers for each monitor, allows the second monitor to have its own taskbar and other neat stuff.Also, I know that there is software out there to make two different computers display to separate monitors but behave like its one computer with dual monitors. When you move the mouse from one monitor to the other control will switch to that computer. It gets a little wonky when the network connection is bad and when one is using a lot of processing power, though.

Either way - I would think the latency would be too much to work like a realtime monitor connection.Steve Wiseman http://www.windows-admin-tools.com I have been seeing more and more about the MaxiVista software, and I am wondering if it is just a glorified remote control program, or if there is something more to it.

Apparently it can lag a bit with videos, but it should be fine for general PC usage.

When I say synchronize I am referring to (primarily) file and folder synchronization. This topic fores me to ask this question : Is there any software/service that synchronises multiple computers?
