Vista - Multi Monitor Backgrounds

Is it possible in Vista to have different backgrounds on different monitors.
Under xp i was able to install the nvidia drivers and change this. When i
install those drivers now i dont get the same options. I am running Dual SLI
7800 GT with one 19" (Acer AL1931) and Two Dell 19" ???. Yea yea i know sli
dosent work on multi monitors. didnt know that until i spent the 1400 bucks.
But they do work well in single mode on multi screens. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THE
BACKGROUND THING

They are still beta drivers and not full-featured. Wait for the final
towards launch day.

I'd normally suggest Ultramon, except that particular feature isn't yet
working with Vista. Hopefully, the long awaited v3 will be out soon. Most
things work well with Vista, and I can't do without the second task bar that
it adds. Unfortunately it is not transparent yet.

I use UltraMon to achieve this.

Ah, only just realised that feature does work in Vista. I think it may not
have in earlier builds.

It did as I've been using it in Vista RC1 through to RTM, it was working in
the last three UltraMon versions.
