Wez, The viewing computer and the server both have the dual-monitor setup but when I connect and change the different settings in the "Misc" tab for Full screen mode I am still not getting the correct window display.
I've tried all three of the different settings; mode, mode matches server res, mode uses all monitors. For this to work, do I have to set the Full-Screen mode settings before I login? Right now I am accessing the "options" menu from the drop down menu in the upper left hand corner after I have made the connection to the server.
