I got a BBA 9700 Pro, and I thought that I'd use the 2nd output for a 2nd CRT. I found a really sweet deal on an NEC MultiSync A700+ refurb, so I picked it up. I plugged it in, set it up, and now I have a bit of a problem (more of an annoyance, really).

I can't get a different desktop image onto my 2nd desktop :p

I've looked through the control panel options that ATI includes w/ their drivers but to no avail. Does anybody know how I could accomplish what I wanna do: have two different desktop images, one per monitor?

Thanks!
 
there is a program called ultramon or something like that

that will let you pick one big panoramic or two diffent

really nice program
 
what about the option extend my desktop onto this monitor, doesnt that do the same thing?
in control panel>displays click on 2nd monitor then tick the extend..... button.
 
cheesy peas, that would only get you two the same desktops. Atleast I think it will...
Last time I used that it did anyways.

Now I need to go find that ultramon too :)

thanks crash
