Well anyway ive bought a second screen to my rig a few days ago. I manage to get a wallpaper that both share with some magic skills. Well now ive installed some drivers for my mouse and all got reseted with resolution and so on. Well i dont remember how i did to get both screens to share my wallpaper, they are same size (19") and same resloultion (1440*900).

Plx help, ive searched in the Nivdia control panel and in the screen properties but cant find anything :/

If it's vista you can select the option under the nvidia control panel for multiple monitors, you can (Can't remember the name atm) do dual view or clone.

I use dual view, but the screen saver doesn't work on the 2nd monitor.

So it's just a wow/browser monitor when I drag them over there.

If you have Xp I think it's called horizontal span in the options.

Use this piece of free software for multi-monitor wallpaper. It works great.

Or,, Look at the size of the given wallpaper in pixels. Go into an editor such as MS Paint:

1. Select the entire image, & hit Copy

2. double the horizontal size of the image. In paint this is under image, Attributes.
(This will add a wide blank area to the right of the image)

3. Paste what you coppied. & move it to the blank space.

4. profit?
