Has this been fixed ?

OP
Surely someone on this forum must be using two monitors on a graphic card with dual monitor output ?

to my knowledge it has not yet been changed.
I have built quite a few systems with the g400 and the g450 and i did not find a work around for this issue.
 
It is not exactly a bug persay it is that win2k looks at the card as one big wide desktop not two individual ones.
 
What i would recomend is that you buy a more powerful geforce pure and a cheap pci board for the second monitor.
 
I got my pci card for $22.50 including shipping
