Dual Monitors XP

[nod218]

Is there anyway to display 2 different wallpapers on a dual monitor setup and 2 different screensaver and/or have different power features for the monitors. Thanks.

2 diff wallpapers: - YES you can use a program called Ultramon to do this I use it and its really sweet ACTUALLY WORTH PAYING FOR you can see it in use here http://www.dickinson.edu/~skillina/13.jpg

2diff screensavers: - not that i know of. Ultramon again will let you set it so teh Sceen saver uses both monitors tho

power features: - No they have to be teh same

As Anubis said, buy Ultramon. The developer is great and very responsive (I've had bug fixes the same day, sometimes the same hour of a report). I use it on all of my MM systems (one of the first things I install after the OS hits the disk)

I just "cheat" for my desktops. Since I always use the same resolution, I created a wallpaper that "spans" both monitors. Essentially it is a wallpaper that is 2560x960. Though my background is the same, I wanted to add some logos to the secondary monitor. Screensavers I don't think can be different, and power settings can't.

Nvidia's stuff should let you do that too.
