Digitizer and Wintab in Windows 2000

Problem:   Windows 2000 with dual monitor and a Digitizer, Puck will only track on one monitor.
Reason:   Microsoft changed the way multi monitors work on Win98 vs. Win2000 beta vs. Win2000 final.
Solution: In a dual screen configuration the left screen (monitor 1) is automatically set to the "Primary Monitor". In this setup (default) the Wintab Driver only works on the left "Primary Monitor". The cursor will not move to the right monitor. If you set the right screen (Monitor 2) as the "Primary Monitor" then the Wintab Driver will track on both screens.
