I have windows vista and a nvidia card. When i had xp my nvidia software allowed me to have different wallpapers on my laptop screen and my lcd monitor is there any way i can do that with vista?

 

not sure about vista, but I use this program called UltraMon at work for my two LCDs and I personally feel it is worth the $40.00.

Favorite Features:
Stretching the bottom taskbar across both screens, so whatever is on the secondary screen minimizes down that one instead of all on the primary.
The move screen, stretch across both screens button is covenient.
2 Wallpapers
2 Screensavers

 

nice, 3.0 out is available! Sweet.

 

or it's free if you don't mind changing a registry key every month

ultramon & the 60-second, once a month uninstall-reinstall FTW definitely

 

Work paid for it, so I kept it legit. I purchased around 15 licenses at the time for my department.

Otherwise, your solution is the preferred method.

 

just change the install date in the registry, it's faster than the uninstall-reinstall process.

 

<--- wants you to explain yourself. how often do you have to do this and how do you do it?
