Does anyone out there know if you can have two different background pictures if you're running dual monitors?
I have a MSI GeForce4 Ti4200, with the digital output hooked up to a second monitor (it's great to watch tv on one screen and surf the web on the other...), I've searched all the windows help sites that I know of but haven't been able to find anything. any help would.....well, help.
Thanks.

Did you poke around in the display control panel? If there's nothing to do it there I'd say it's probably not possible. Dunno.

If you have a dual video card, you can have two different pictures on your monitors. Otherwise, I don't think so.
That is the secret to my success as an instructor when I was in the Navy. I had one computer with a dual video card. On one monitor, I had what was displayed over the LCD projector and onto a projection screen for the students to see. On the other screen I had the instructor guide. I used Powerpoint and doubled the screen width. On the left side of each powerpoint slide was the IG, and on the right was what would be displayed to the students.
Hope that helps.

Thanks all,
I think UltraMon might be what I'm looking for.
