MONTREAL, June 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Matrox Graphics Inc., the leading manufacturer of specialised graphics solutions, today announced the release of the Matrox PowerDesk 4.00 display driver for M-Series graphics cards operating under Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 7. The newest driver features stretched desktop mode to span applications across all displays, while introducing Desktop Zoom to view a pre-selected region on a dedicated feature display. PowerDesk 4.00 also includes Personalised divisions, a function under Desktop Divider that allows users to divide the desktop into smaller cells to create a customised and personalised desktop.

PowerDesk 4.00's stretched desktop mode and Desktop Zoom are valuable multi-display enhancements, especially for professionals operating high-end applications on Windows 7 workstations, comments Ron Berty, Business Development Manager, Matrox Graphics. Spanning an application on up to eight displays permits energy management administrators, train dispatch operators, and financial traders to conveniently manage large amounts of data, while enabling the Zoom functionality to monitor critical points of interest on a fullscreen display.

This window management software offers a wide range of utilities for optimal management of message pop-ups and window positioning, including controls over which display dialogue boxes and message boxes appear, and how windows are maximised.
