Multiple monitors not working in VM6

I am running VM6 final in my laptop which is hooked up to an external monitor. The external monitor is set to primary while my laptop screen is set to secondary. My host is Windows XP Media Center and my guest is Windows XP. The multiple monitors display setting is default which is to obey host's setting. Inside the guest there is a red cross over the Cycle Multiple Monitors icon. When I clicked on it, it says the current arrangement of monitors is not supported. Did I do something wrong? Thanks.

We don't support multi-head configurations with negative offsets.

The position (0, 0) must be the top left of the configuration.

Check your display settings

Thanks for your quick response. I swap the monitor horizontal position in the display settings and it is working now. It is a bit weird now since my external monitor is physically on the right of the laptop and my display settings is the other around. Are there plans to support this "negative offsets" in the next revision? Thanks.
