Dual Monitors and Windows XP Extend my Windows Desktop Question

[James Weatherall]

Joe,

Assuming that the viewing computer is also a dual-monitor setup, you can
configure VNC Viewer to connect full-screen, and for full-screen mode to
span the viewer computer's two monitors, so that you get the full server
desktop displayed more or less as-is.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
