Hi Paul<br>
<br>
no the one where everything works great is XP and the other one where I can only start one window is vista (32bit). Maybe thats the problem....<br>
<br>
yes I'm using the virtual dektop (virtual monitor) dexpot for several years, for me its better than an additional monitor.<br>
<br>
And the other virtual thing i'm using is a Virtualbox (virtual machine) with windows XP in it - for testing prupose: web developing with unpatched old browsers e.g. Internet Explorer 6...<br>
