You can't have 2 monitors for the guest OS though. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. |

The guest is no different than a separate computer, if you can't do it with 2 real computers, you can't do it with a VM. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. |
