Another possible way to deal with multi/single monitor support and older
applications is described in the MSDN library in the article "Multiple
Monitor Applications on Different Systems":

"To have your multiple monitor–aware application work both on systems
with and without multiple monitor support, link your application with
Multimon.h. You must also define COMPILE_MULTIMON_STUBS in exactly one C
file. If the system does not support multiple monitors, this returns
default values from GetSystemMetrics, and the multiple monitor functions
act as if there is only one display. On multiple monitor systems, your
application will work normally. If your application is written only for
Windows 2000/XP and Windows 98/Me, you do not need to link with
Multimon.h. [...]"

BTW, Windows 98/ME also support the multi monitor API.
