    Basically I try dragging my windows apps over to my dual monitor and it doesn't work...

    Is there a setting or something I need to change or is this a bug/missing feature in coherence?

    Using 17in MBP

    Thanks,
    Josh

    nope not working

    No it's not working yet. I posted a thread about it a while ago. I spent an hour or so banging my head on my desk before realizing it just doesn't work with 2 displays. If it's not going to work, they should remove the check box for "use multiple displays" to prevent confusion.

    Use Search and find the threads on how it DOES work in the current implementation.

    What isn't implemented currently is native Windows support of Dual Monitors.

    What is implemented is dual monitor, extended desktop support, with one single overall rectangular window space.

    So, if you have differently sized monitors, it will be the smaller vertical dimension that will set the maximal vertical size of the desktop -- leaving a non-Windows space on the larger monitor space -- or the larger vertical dimension serving that function and the lower dimensioned monitor will have an "extended desktop" region that it can't display (as it will be literally "off screen").

    This is all documented in the prior threads on this subject.

    I am currently using coherence with a dual-monitor setup on an MBP C2D and external monitor.
