I've used my LCD tv as a an extra monitor for a while now, usually to play video files while I do something else on my pc at the same time.
I previously used an svideo connection, but thought I'd switch to an DVI/HDMI connection for better quality.
I've got everything set up but can't get the wallpaper to display properly. See these pictures.

The wallpapers appear correctly in the preview but come out garbled when applied.
I've got an nVidia 8500 graphics card.
Primary display is an LCD monitor set to 1440x900
Secondary display is my LCD tv set to 1920x1080
Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Do you use another wallpaper utility or shell enhancement which might interfere with the wallpaper getting applied properly?
Which version of UltraMon are you using?

I've got version 3.0.2
I suspect it's a conflict caused by Webshots.
I did get the wallpapers to work correctly for a while after much fiddling. But it got messed up when I restarted my PC today. Can't work out what I did to get it to work. I'll keep trying.
Have you got any recommendations on how to get cycling wallpapers?
I downloaded a script from here but couldn't work out what to do with it.

Disabling Webshots might be worth a try, I'm not sure though if that's the cause of the problem.
I'm not aware of a wallpaper changer with multi-monitor support.

Wallpaper cycler by Nuonsoft works on multiple monitors and works well with UltraMon (personal experience). It's not free, though.
