John, I have also had problems with the Matrox dualhead. Mine is the G400 dh which preceeded your model. I also suffered thru the non recognition of dual monitors that you described. On top of that, I determined that it was the G400 that was causing my W2000 system to freeze at least once a day. I have now mothballed my G400 and have gone back to using single video cards. I now have 4 Voodoo 3 2000 cards in my system and have yet to experience a crash in 6 weeks. By the way, I chose the Voodoo 3 2000 instead of the Voodoo 3 3000 because the 2000 generates far less heat. Hope this helps. By the way, I had to also mothball 4 ATI Expert 98 video cards when I went from W98 to W2K. Sue

John, Thanks for link to www.realtimesoft.com/multmon. From there, I found information on the Silicon Realms Multidesk utility program. It turns out that I like the SR Multidesk more than the HydraVision 98 multidesk utility that come with the Appian card. There are more features and flexibility! Sorry to hear that the Matrox G450 still has the same problem as the G400 (both monitors treated as one by Win2000). I've had it w/my G400 and that was why I chose Appian at the end. MS
