I think this should do what you want:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;137890
The program is installed in c:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
</html>
N.B., you need to go into the registry too and add the command-line parameter "9001".

Documentation
The Scalable Display general documentation can be found at the links below:

===Reinstallation Note that if you reinstall the program there are a number of flags that need to be set in the advanced options menu item under help in the EasyBlend Program: In the event of a need to reinstall choose the option to keep the existing configuration rather then move and replace.
For posterity the non default flags that must be set are:
- OutputDirectory = /var/tmp/ScalableData.ol
- SetLightSpeedDefaultValue = 0
- DotNet35Available = 0
- UseColorBalanceGlobalAverage = 1
- ReadProjectorAdjacencyArray = 1
- bNormalize = 1
Remote Control
The program "TCPListener.exe" must be running for remote commands to be sent. Our plan was to have it run as a user service (see first section above). But below is how to run it manually.
The program can be started with: <html>
C:\Program Files\Scalable Display\release\TCPListener.exe 9001
</html>
It probably should be put it in the startup folder.
