Virtual Applications Limited to Primary Monitor?

Source: microsoft.public.virtualpc

Message:

I just noticed today that the copy of FrontPage 2003 I installed in an
XP Mode VM is restricted to the primary monitor (#1) on a dual-monitor
system. If I try dragging it over to the secondary (#2) monitor, it
just disappears off the edge never appearing at all on #2, and the drag
is stopped when the cursor hits the edge of #1. Using a utility like
UltraMon makes no difference at all, as it doesn't even see the virtual
application.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks... Karl

Karl E. Peterson was thinking very hard :

Classic. Post, then immediately "discover" the answer.

I had the monitors configured like this:

#2 #1

Turns out, they needed to be like this:

#1 #2

Dumb! But, whatever. Can anyone fathom a reason why the brilliant
folks at MSFT apparently can't cope with negative screen coordinates?

Dunno. But VMWare Workstation is the same -- the primary monitor must be on the
left.
