Extended desktop with Virtual PC?

I was wondering if it is possible to enable "screen spanning" mode while using Virtual PC on my iBook. I have been using the screen spanning doctor for a while now in OSX with no problems, but when I start up Virtual PC the iBook screen displays the Windows desktop, while my external monitor still displays the extended portion of my mac desktop. I would rather have the Windows desktop spanned across both monitors, if possible, and I'm having some trouble getting windows to recognize the external display.

Thanks for any help with this,
Patrick

nope

VirtualPC emulates a single S3 Trio video card, so it knows nothing about dual monitors. It would be nice - I use the program with dual 17" monitors at work.

You can adjust the screen size by dragging the window across both monitors, but I don't think that's what you are asking about.

That's what I figured

Thanks for taking the time to reply though.
