Saw this thread and started to experiment...

Ian was right... Just make an image of the total size of your desktop (2 screens at 1024x768 = 2048x768) then just copy and paste what you want onto it. This only works if you select 'Tile' when you apply the background

DO IT!!

I got a 19" as my main screen and a 15" as a media screen (MSN + Winamp) for when I'm browsing the net for playing games. Was originally going to have it as a TV using a Pinnacle TV card, but I bought a Corsa halfway through project, so it remains unfinished.

BTW, If you use SLi graphics setup, you'll need a PCI GPU which isn't Nvidia based!! U2U if you need more help.

Corsa Sport doesn't even bloody buy my computer, which is probably should. Servers that sit there doing nothing get paid for but the moderation hotline is privately owned
