Muliple displays on the desktop PC

I have the Nvidea 7600 graphics card and control panel installed on my dell
PC, the control panel will let me select 2 monitors with duelview .The
problem I am having is that Windows Vista Premium will not let me set up 2
different backgrounds .All I can do is get it to extend the desktop through
the diplay settings menu.Even the microsoft web site explained how to do
it.Is there somthing I am missing or is it not possible to have to different
desktops on a desktop PC, any advice will be welcomed.

If you load the trial version of Ultramon, you can set up two different
backgrounds.. delete Ultramon after you have done this if you do not intend
pay for the full version.. the two different backgrounds will stay as long
as you do not try to change them again..
