So, I returned my monitor and just got it back today YAY! This weekend I helped my cousin with his lappy which I hooked it up to his new monitor so he can run dual. So my question is, How can I "extend" my whole desktop over there? So I see my taskbar on BOTH monitors.

Right now I have both of my monitor and my HDTV hooked up to one GPU. I went threw NVIDIA control panel but it didn't give me that option.

I also tried to play CounterStrike on my main which is my 22" LG monitor, But I see nothing, I can here the sounds but can not see anything.

Any Ideas?

UPDATE: CounterStrike now works on my main screen. But nothing comes up on my other screen. Which I want like msn and firefox going on that. Is that possible?

I found a program called Ultramon, I'm on trial but it seems like what I wanted. But I can't seem to get Counter Strike or any other game on one monitor than MSN and other things on the other.

it should if were talking about the same thing. a mountain thats split across both screens. say for wallpaper, the wallpaper has to be for duel monitors.
if its a program game then maybe its not designed to be split across. the wallpaper has to be for duel monitors like here i think. at least it fits nice.

Thanks dude! Yea, It probably was DisplayFusion. It's not there anymore. And after figuring out a easier way to log on to safe mode. Due to the fact my computer goes to something else when I either tap "F8" or when I hold "F8". I got my graphics drivers updated and that stupid thing interfering with my gameage. So thanks man!
