I use Ultramon for all kinds of neat dual monitor support. It is
struggling a little under Vista, but it runs (see
http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon...tmpl=UltraMon),
and a new version will support Vista soon from what I hear.

Another trick you can do is to make one large wallpaper in something like
Paint and set it to Tile. I have done this in the past to put together two
wallpapers into one double-wide wallpaper and used it this way.

I believe I found Nvidia had tools did that (I could not keep 2 cards
running consistently under vista).

RE: Dual Monitors - Dual Wallpapers

Yeah, this is a feature I'd *really* like to see working again. I'm pretty
sure that it worked on Beta 2, but on RC1 selecting "tile" simply tiles the
image across one monitor, not both. Also, since I'm running Vista x64,
UltraMon won't install because it uses an unsigned driver.

Which is probably a good thing, because I never would have been able to
justify paying $40 for it anyway.
