Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Trying to run 2xDesktops

Okay, here's the hardware:

Athlon 1.5ghz, 256mb DDR, and a GeForce 4 Ti4200 w/DVI, dualhead output.

I've got my dual monitors plugged in, and they work. That's good.

But I want two run two seperate desktops on each monitor.

I can't figure out how. I've looked through all of nView's options and can't find it. I'm about to start looking through other programs like powerstrip and such to see if I can find an option to do it.

Any suggestions you guys can offer would be highly appreciated. :|

What exactly do you mean by two desktops?

UltraMon lets you have a seperate taskbar on each monitor. The NVidia NView desktop Manager can force specific apps to open and display on a specific monitor. You can drag and drop icons to either monitor by default.

What specific features are you looking for in dual desktops?

Mostly I was looking for separate wallpapers on each, which I found the option for in nview 2.0...

The taskbar on each would be neat, and there's an option for it in nView 2.0, but it is permanently grayed out for some reason or another, which is mildly irritating.

Such is life. :D

Yes, NView is very nice. I have different wallpaper on my two monitors at home. I didn't know NView had an option for seperate taskbars on each monitors. I did know that in desktop stretch mode, one taskbar can spans across both monitors.
