Duel Moniters

[Maggx]

I just smacked a new moniter next to my other, got em running together, the 2nd one is running in extended, i was just wondering how you would go about have 2 differant backgrounds, like one on one moniter and the other on the 2nd, i have vista(if that makes any differance) ive been trying to find out how, but im at a loss.

Check the checkbox that says "extend the desktop onto this monitor" if its not greyed out (Display Settings). I dont know 'cuz I'm using Dell 2407FPW 24" LCD, its worth having big one instead of dual. Or I might go dual 24" in the future.

PS: I'm already on RC2.

Well, I have the extended checked off, but when i try to change my back ground, it changes both moniters, ive tried going into personilisation on the 2nd moniter, but it still changes both of em

Hmmm my advice to you is just make one, just stitch 2 picture together, extended means still one desktop.

I use a program called UltraMon for my desktop management.  I don't use dual monitors that much any more since SLI and multiple monitors aren't good bed fellows, but it's handy for switching the monitor profiles so I can watch anime on my HDTV

Edit - UltraMon also has a "Smart Taskbar" which allows separate taskbars for each monitor.  It also supports multiple wallpapers and you can send windows to other monitors with the click of a button.

I've been running dual monitors for a few years. What video card do you have? I use an nVidia GeForce 9800GT w2GB GDDR2 driving 2 24" LCD monitors set to 1920x1200@. I have mine set to DualView which keeps the taskbar on the primary monitor but shows the wallpaper equally on both.
