Okay, so I brought a second monitor from home, figuring I'll try out running two monitors... See how I like it. I'm running ATI's Hydravision, and it seems to be working fine, I'm just curious on a few things... Like how do I get my dual-monitor wallpapers to actually stretch between both screens? Also, is there a way to get my Windows taskbar to appear on both monitors?

I have plenty of them (I'm a subscriber to GameWallpapers.com, so I have all of their dual-screen papers downloaded... Once I download the rest of their wallpapers, I'll share them out for everyone).

But I'll give Ultramon a try.

All you need to do is get a wallpaper that streches both monitors and, when you go to the desktop properties window, choose TILE for the position.

I run dual too, this is really the only way to do it that I have found.

Deviant art also has a pretty cool dual-display section, mostly scenery. I really dont know how to stretch the taskbar through both screens, not real familiar with ATI, unless you want to try horizontal span, if you have that option.

UltraMon will stretch the tool bar. UltraMon can also treat each monitor differently as far as backgrounds are concerned, so you don't allways have to have completly new wall papers.
