I am trying to setup virtual pc to use dual monitors on my powerbook.
I am using Windows XP, and virtual pc 7. Is this even possible? I am
familiar with using dual monitors with a Windows machine, but options
seem to be missing in virtual pc.

My apologies if this has been covered before. I searched thru past
messages and couldn't find anything.

allonemac,

the virtual machine supports only one display adaptor, and the
best you can do is to make your display window (it will not work
in full-screen mode) span across the two displays.

You can not span a VM screen across two displays... it resizes back to
only one.
