I've been trying to set up a small secondary monitor for my computer, without buying a new monitor. I'd like to use a program for my Axim X30 to accomplish this. However, I'm running Windows Vista x64, which seems to make this impossible.

If you have any suggestions, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Old laptop with MaxiVista - got around unsigned driver problem, still doesn't work because of Vista display driver architecture

2. Axim X30 with MS SideShow PDA preview - doesn't work because Axim OS is too old

3. Axim X30 with Innobec SideWindow - got around installation problem with Vista, still doesn't work because of unsigned driver & lack of ActiveSync

I'd really like to use the Axim to show data when I've got another app in fullscreen on my monitor (e.g. If I'm playing a game, I could still see my IM windows on the Axim screen).

HELP!
