Multiple Displays using Macbook Pro and 23" HD in XP

one question I have is that in the native Mac OS I am using the Macbook Pro 15" (2.4Ghz Intel Duo 2) screen along side the Apple cinema HD 23" as a multiple screen arrangement.

I am not able to do this with the guest windows XP. Not a major problem really, as I can see whatever is in the Mac OS on the 15" screen which is excellent when switching between OS's, however would be good to be able to use multiple screens in XP as well.

advice again is greatly appreciated.
 
Hello,

could you please specify the issue? How exactly does it work? (or, actually, doesn't work)

Also, could you please tell me what Parallels build are you using?
 
PD 2.5 build 3224 on Leopard.

In the Mac0S I run the 15" screen of the Macbook Pro along side th 23" Cinema display in a mulitple arrangement which is useful in CAD as you can keep another drawing open in the other window for reference.

When I switch to XP it only uses the 23" display, and doesn't use the laptop screen. In the laptop screen I can still see whatever was on there in the MacOS i.e. if I leave my OSX mail in the screen, I can still see it when working on the XP screen on the 23" display.

The problem is that in the displays control panel in XP, it does not give me an option to set up multiple displays, and it is something I would like to be able to do in both OSX and XP.

please let me know if you need further information.
