WinXP Dual display desktop

nameIess · 02-06-2007, 09:24 PM

hey all,
I have two monitors hooked and I already can display different things seperatly on each monitor. but the desktop is the same for both monitors.

is there a way that I can use one very wide picture to be displayed on one monitor and continued in the other?

thanks

Yeah, change your destop image to "stretch", instead of "tile" or "center".

thanks, its already on stretch, yet the image is displayed independent on the other monitor.

Dang. I don't think you can do it on dual view... I think you have to change it to horizontal span.

and another question, is there a way to make videos play on both monitors? so far I can only play a video on one monitor at a time.
