    Hi everyone. I am trying out the 15-day trial of Parallels Workstation for Windows where I am using XP as a guest OS on top of XP. I need to be able to make the Parallels window stretch over my 2 monitors instead of just being full-screen on monitor 1 or 2. This is for a financial application that has a lot of data and I need the display stretched over 2 monitors. Is this possible? How can I do it? I've tried several display settings, dragging and trying to make the window larger, etc to no avail.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is not currently possible, as far as I have been able to tell.

    Full Screen is on a single monitor.

    Single Window lets me stretch the single window slightly onto my second monitor. Much wider and it snaps back to one monitor - as if the auto-size-adjusted video driver does not know how to display a desktop that wide.

    Coherence doesn't support multiple monitors either. It won't let me drag an app window onto the next monitor, but if I go into Spaces, it will appear to let me do so, but then it snaps back to the monitor it was originally on, but in the new space.

    This is something that needs to be fixed ... other posts on the forums asking for it.

    When I did the demo of Fusion, I didn't test this aspect. Do you know what the situation is over there?
