You cannot run the window 'full screen' ; you must run it as a 'sizable' window then just 'stretch' it across both monitors ... try it! there are a few other tricks with oversize wallpaper & the tool bars(2 different ones on the bottom) I can fill you in on if you are interested .........REFERENCED WEB PAGE SHOWS PAINTSHOP ACROSS 2 SCREENS
: I had no trouble setting up dual monitors, but I'm having trouble using them. I bought a new Gateway with Windows 98; so Microsoft won't support the installation. Now Gateway won't support multiple monitors either so I can't get my questions answered. One of many is: how can I 'spread' one window over two or more monitors? I can get one window on each but even then there are some questions that I have.

:
: : With Windows 98, dual monitors is relatively easy. You can use 2 PCI cards, or, assuming you have a newer computer, you use your existing AGP plus a PCI card.

: : I started trading with a 15" monitor, went to a 17", then to a 19", and now have dual 19" monitors. It makes a BIG difference to see the whole picture. Dual 19" monitors is very much like the traditional book-magazine-newspaper image that we are accustomed to getting information from.

: : I run my RealTick Level II software across BOTH screens, with a few Internet Explorer browsers available to be popped up. When you move or stretch out a window, Win98 simply treats the dual monitors as through they were a single large horizontal-format screen.

: : I also use the ATI Expert 98 card. Microsoft has a list of cards that are supported at their web site, as well as instructions on installation and set-up. Be sure to consult the list before you buy another card. Go to microsoft.com, find on-line support for Windows 98, and search for "dual monitors" --
