Windows 8 Consumer Preview and Dual Screen

Post by DarkProjekt »

Hi

I installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview. And everything works as expected.

Now I would like to make it work with dual screen.

I changed the VirtualBox-Settings to 2 displays and it starts with two windows, one with Win 8 and one black.
My problem now ... Win 8 does not find the second display and remains in single display mode.

It there a way to change this?
Do I need to change the graphic adapter driver from Windows? And which one is the correct one?
Or is there another trick?

If this question is already answered elsewhere, please forgive me. I searched, but did'nt found a solution for this question.

Have a nice day
Michael
