Answer» Hi,
I am using Windows2000 Pro.
I have a dual monitor system, I am wondering is it possible to have different desktop picture on each monitor? If so, how do I set it up?
Is there a good, preferablely free program I can use to have the desktop display random picture at a set time interval? The best I can find on the net is Wallpaper Switcher.NET, but the thing I don't like about it is that the fastest it can change picture is 30 minutes. I am just wondering if you guys have any idea that I don't know of.
Thanks.

I have dual monitors and have done that, although I'm not currently doing it. I have Win XP Pro and a nVidia video card with nVidia sofware installed. I believe that's key to being able to do this. I PRESUME the same thing could be done with ATI.
Tell us more about your system, particularly your display adapter/video card."Tell us more about your system, particularly your display adapter/video card."
Well, I use Windows 2000 Pro on my PC. The primary monitor is a 17" Sony CRT, max RESOLUTION is 1024x768. It is connected to the onboard Intel 82845/GL video.
The second monitor is a ACER AL2216W wide screen LCD, 1680x1050 pixels, it's connected to a nVidia GeForce4 MX440 64mb video card. Both are VGA output.
In the BIOS, Primary Video Adapter is set to Onboard.
In the Display control control panel, under the Settings tab,
Monitor #1 (the CRT.) --1. Default Monitor on Intel 82845G/GL Graphic Controller. Monitor #2 (the LCD.) -- 2. Plug and Play Monitor On NVIDIA GeForce MX 440. I also have nView Desktop Manager install on my machine.
Ummm, I guess that's all info I can find out now. Hope it will give a clue what to do.
Thank you.
B. Wait, how dumb of me. I just found out I can do it in the nView desktop manager! Why didn't I think of it before?
