Its been a while since my nVidia dual screen setup, but iirc you just go into nView and select the option worded something like "span wallpaper across both monitors".

Get a picture sized to the right resolution to cover both screens and just select tile in the desktop display properties.

Right click on your desktop and go to properties. Go to settings and move the two monitors so that they are in the same position as on your desk.

To get the right resolution. Go to the same place and read off the resolution. The image size you want will be that resolution times twice the width. Then either download a file that's the right size, or google for something to resize it. There are countless small applications to resize images.

It's what I use (different wallpaper on each monitor here).
Eminently configurable and even lets you have monitor-specific taskbars too, if you so desire. :thumb:

im lost in space with a mouth full of space dust and fizzy pop (you all lost me)

ok i loaded up adobe photoshop and went too resize. changed it too double like said and saved. open picture in viewer and its stretched, the planets look more like a egg shape than a nice rounded planet look. i had another dable because its a copy of picture and set everything too double now i have a massive picture that goes of bottom of my two screens . i think i cheat and ask someone too chop it for me. hope fully he take out the wording christmas too :D

The other thing about Ultramon is that you can setup which applications show on which monitor. You can also span any application across both monitors or keep it on one of them.

Have a look at deviantart.com and see if there are any dual screen wall papers you like there.
