Dual monitor set up TIPS/SOFTWARE?
 

Hey, so i finally picked up one of my crt's in my other screen and plugged it in to set up a dual display for my desktop.

Now i was wondering if there's any tips/hints to maximizing this new desktop area.

i've installed ultramon and it's definitely helpful, any other softwares/hints that you have?

I was going to say ultramon too but you already installed it.

What else do you need? Nowadays, everything that you need is already built into Vista and MacOSX...other than Ultramon.

what does ultramon do?

I have 2 22' lcd's and i just use my nvidia drivers for the setup.

^ those are some bigass screen :p

You missed your own typo and my sarcasm

You can stretch the windows taskbar on both monitors and have different wallpapers on each screen.

new builds of ati and nvidia drivers can already do all that, even custom resolutions to eliminate overscans in tv's

powerstrip's not bad either

Heh, I missed it too until you pointed it out. 22 foot screens! :D

nice set-up in that pic

oh for fuck sakes.... hahahaha

Hey everyone,

How do I do this?

As well any tips for when the Ultramon " trial " runs out.

I love Ultramon!

Thanks in advance! =)

find one that doesn't need "trial"
PM me your email and i'll send you one
only have it for 64 bit windows

i have a dual screen setup and i was wondering if i can get audio from my screen speakers(while watching a movie for example) and get audio on my other speakers(while playing games/and on skype on the other for example)

LOL

either you pay or download a pirated one

Taskbar on both screens:
Right click Ultramon icon by the clock
Click Options
Click the Smart Taskbar tab
Check the box that says 'Use Smart Taskbar'
Press OK

Different BGs or one big BG:
Right click Ultramon icon by the clock
Click 'Wallpaper...'
Configure as desired..

" Right click Ultramon icon by the clock " I don't have this help.

Help???

Thanks!

i run display fusion
basically sounds like the same thing as ultramon, cept theres no trial basis stuff.

Maybe it's a hidden icon? If you're using Windows 7, click the ^ button to show your other system tray icons. Ultramon is the icon with two computer screens on it. Right click on that to bring up the pop up menu.
