Hi,

I been using my 9700pro for a little over a month now and I'm really happy with it. Knowing the card has dual monitor support, I decided to take advantage of it. So I got another 17", and now I have a dual monitor setup. It's great, but one thing bugs me. I can't change individual backgrounds on each monitor. What I have to do is get two pictures, merge them together, and set that as my background. It works, but a bit of a hassle. Is there an easier why to do this?

While on the subject on dual monitor, anybody know a program that will allow me to get another taskbar on the other monitor? I read some post about this, but the search button is broken

-Thanks

Hi,

I didn't install any ATI software which would explain why I couldn't find any helpful tools for dual monitors. Well, I got some advices to download Ultramon and it's a great software. It does everything I want it to, extra taskbar, backgrounds, and many more. Highly recommend it.

-Thanks

use an image editing program to merge both pictures into one picture... then on windows, set your wallpaper to tile
