    I am having a few coherence problems. When I switch into coherence mode it shows just the program window but I can't move it around. Also, if the resolutions do not match then it scales/stretches it out. (Is this correct?)

    If I go to full screen mode then only my center screen shows the desktop. The other 2 (left and right) do not. I also can't see how to drag and drop from windows to Mac as clicking a window acts like an OS window. I have to use ctrl+alt to get out of it. Is this not supported in Vista?

    Newest official build, Vista as a virtual machine. Thanks.

    Based on reports from others, coherence seems to only work with 2 monitors. The only work around I've seen reported is disable one of the video cards and only use 2 monitors. Coherence works by masking out the windows background, so it is quite possible to see odd behavior with various resolutions. Also Coherence doesn't really support 2 monitors. It "does" this by configuring your VM to have 1 large screen that is the size of your 2 monitors added together. If the monitors are different sizes you will get either scaling or ciipping, which may are may not be a problem depending on the difference in resolution and the configuration (horizontal / vertical) of your screens.
