View Full Version : Dual Wallpaper in Vista

I have a dual monitor setup and would like to have different wallpapers display on each monitor. I used to be able to do this in XP with Nview (from nVidia), but Vista doesn't seem to offer this capability.

I've tried creating super wide wallpaper in the hope it would extend to my second monitor, but instead I end up with the same squished wallpaper on both. What am I doing wrong? Is there anyway to get this working without having to drop some bucks on Ultramon?

Okay, I figured it out. Apparently, the super wide background I had made needed to go in the Wallpaper folder. Once I placed it in there and tiled it, it spanned the monitors.

I think this is a really goofy setup and I hope nVidia updates their drivers soon to support dual wallpapers.

That's cool Groovy! Although maybe a pair of b00bies would be better?

it is the same thing you have to do in XP without special software my current one is a home made transformers one that spans 2 monitors at 1600x1200 (3200x1200)
