Curv Boll Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Hi,I am not sure what your asking either, however if its multiple desktops you require on one windows machine this is your answer.power toysGood luckCB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodyveryspecial Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 okay.... virtual desktopsyou know how in that you can up to 4 desktops, each with its own background, custom sorta displays etc....i want the same thing, but split onto 2 monitors, but instead of 4 desktops i want 2.1 per display, not that extended desktop stuff or clone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-C Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 You can do this with any nvidia graphics card, go to control panel and play round with the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyridean Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Try using VMware....that'll get you two separate machines on two separate monitors, but also allow you to move your mouse easily from one to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodyveryspecial Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 vmware.... thats like a virtual pc thing isnt it?i dont really want 2 "computers" if you will, but the same concept as virtual desktop programs, but on 2 displaysSimonSays got it in 1, thats exactly what i want, but they are 2 independent desktops running fromt he same user.the nvidia thing that mike-c means is either cloning or horizontal span. both of those are stupid becasue they are individualised, but run of the single original desktopbtw-nvidia gc 5900xtive heard rumours that ati can do it, but i wouldnt know.....i reckon this would be a worthy thing for nvidia to invest in if possible, since it seems that a utility or addon is unable to do it as of yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeymad Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 why would you want this? what would the point be?? to trick people into thinking you have 2 computers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big poppa pump Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 What you are looking for is a program called UltraMon. It gives you the ability to create a virtual taskbar on the 2nd screen. Another added plus is that the applications/windows open in one taskbar are independent of the windows on the other taskbar. This is a must program if you have dual monitor setup. Also you can set different wallpapers for each desktop so that they look like 2 different computers but controlled by the same user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
