Panoramic View with dual monitors So my wifes computer just crapped out and she has decided to stick with her laptop for now. I've decided I'm taking her monitor and hooking it up to my Nvidia 250 GTS and running 2 monitors.
My question is, using Windows 7 is there a way to make my 2 monitors look like 1 big one?
That's what i thought too but having done some Google searches I've read a few threads about Windows Vista and 7 not allowing Panoramic view with multi displays. I can't see mirroring being useful at all.Originally Posted by lath19
But i figure someone has to be running multiple monitors with Windows 7, I just can't figure out how.
My videocard supports extending displays, which makes both usable, but doesn't make them look like 1 large one.
I have multiple displays running right now on this laptop.

I have been running two monitors on Windows 7 since it was released.... it does essentially run as a "panoramic view" except that your wallpaper graphic will be cloned (i.e. two of the same kings calendar wallpapers.... otherwise you can drag windows from monitor to monitor even leave a window teetering across both monitors....nothing else will be cloned except for the wallpaper image... but if you maximize a window, it will only maximize it on one monitor, it won't go into super duper stretch mode across both screens unless you manually stretch it that way using the window borders...
+1, but I have XP

Actually I've discovered Ultramon, which alows me to extend my desktop background on both monitors.I have been running two monitors on Windows 7 since it was released.... it does essentially run as a "panoramic view" except that your wallpaper graphic will be cloned (i.e. two of the same kings calendar wallpapers
This is a screenshot of both monitors with one background.
