dual monitor help
ok, finally got the dual setup going. got some questions now. i have it setup so that i basically extended the OG monitor to the extra one. so the left monitor is the primary and the right one is the extension.
first off, is it possible to play a dvd and have it use both monitors? even when there would be a line in the middle where the monitors meet.
second, i changed the wallpaper on one monitor and both change to the same thing..is it possible to have different wallpapers for each monitor?
third, is there a way to just make both monitors one big widesceen monitor? so that my taskbar would extend all the way across both monitors?
im a dually nublet

If you're using two different video cards, definitely the answer is no. If you're using a single card with two outputs (called a "dual head" card) the answer might be yes, but I'm not positive.
Wallpaper and taskbar stretched:
I think there might be third-party apps that do this, but Windows won't do it for you.
