Windows 2000 doesn't handle multiple monitors correctly. It tends to do what it wants, and often chokes on it. Fought this here for over a month. We've read enough MS documents to make someone dizzy. Somehow, we eventually managed to get two monitors to work, but Win 2000 recognizes them as one giant monitor. It's kind of annoying the way it splits everything in half.
Good Luck.
