i began using a dual screen setup the other day and i was wondering if it is possible to have a different wallpaper for each of the 2 monitors thx
 
yes it is, go to Display Properties > Settings > Extend my desktop to this monitor

which should be monitor two, I hope this helps.
 
what you said is how to setup a dual display. i have already done that though. what i need now is to know how to display a "different" wallpaper on the 2nd display. thx
 
ok, this is a little trick I read about on the web

Display Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web tab

Select New and browse to the image location > Click OK

Now drag the image over to the second desktop and from the image's pull down menu in the upper left-hand corner select Cover Desktop.

Right click > Arrange By and "Lock web items on desktop".

Now you should be able to select a different wallpaper for the primary monitor.
 
That will only slow down your computer.

I run a program called: UltraMon.
With this program you can control allmost everything with dual monitors.

You can download it from: www.download.com
Just search for UltraMon.


Hope this will help you!
