Vista - Horizontal Span Dual Monitor

03-30-2009

Vista 32 & Nvidia

Is there anyway to set "Horizontal Span" across two monitors?

Burnout Paradise has the option to run 1,2 or 3 monitors but requires
the Horizontal Span feature.

The Extending the desktop to a second monitor setting does not work.

Basically I need something that will allow me to set a 3300x1050
desktop resolution across both monitors. I've tried creating a custom
resolution in the Nvidia control panel but that didn't work.

For those that will suggest Ultramon there isn't a Horizontal span
feature that I could find anyways.

Browsing Google for an hour or so just came up with others looking for
an answer as well. Just thought I'd come to where the smart people are
and ask. lol

TIA
Dave.

It is not available by default in Vista anymore like it was in XP,
thanks to the new drivers specifications...

All the Best
