Hi I run a 2 monitor setup with taskbars on both monitors in Windows 7.

- I would like to have the startbutton on the second monitor aswell. After looking thrue the forums I found some info that this would maybe be a feature in release 3. Is the feature there and I have only missed it?

- MSN (Messenger) icon is always shown on the monitor with the startbutton even after been moved to the other monitor. Can I do anything about it?

Support for this will be considered for a future release, but won't make it into 3.0 final.

There's no fix for the Messenger issue, this happens because Messenger on Windows 7 creates a second taskbar button which always remains visible, but the associated window is located offscreen, not on the same monitor as the contacts window.

There's a bit of a workaround for this (and "fixes" messenger to work like it used to). Find the MSN executable in your programs folder, go into the properties and find the compatibility settings. Set it to be compatible with something less than Win7 (XP or Vista). It will then sit in your tray like it used to and you don't get the annoying hidden window.

Of course if you prefer MSN working the Win7 way then this won't help you ;).
