Hi there,

A silly question here, I use nvidia display card with two monitors, I wanna
different background on the two monitors. It seems Windows XP cannot do it,
and it's said nvidia driver could do it, but I didn't find. Any good idea?
Thanks.

BTW, Please don't let me combine the two images into one and tile it on the
background.

Thank you.

Ray

That's correct.

I have no personal experience with it, but Ultramon is supposed to be able
to do this. http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/

That wouldn't work anyway.

You're great, that's what I want. Thanks.

BTW, combining two images into one and tiling on screen works for me.

Glad to hear it, and you're welcome.

Natively, without using Utramon?

Yes, without using Ultramon. Do the math first, the total size of the two
monitors, make an image with the size, add it as background with position of
"Tile".

OK, thanks. I've never tried it, and I'm glad to hear it works.
