Alright so I have a few questions. I have dual monitors. My primary is on the left monitor, and my secondary is on the right. Now, I have a few questions regarding em. How do I set a single background that stretches across both screens? And at the same time, If I'm playing a game and I accidentally move my mouse to the secondary and click, my game windows out. Is there a way to disable that too? Also, How can I set a different background image on each monitor if I wanted to? And I'm using XP.

To the clicking on the other screen thing, no, im just use to it now lol.
And i use a program called 'Ultramon (http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/download.asp)' to monitor both my screens, and allows u to set a duel desktop wallpaper across both screens, and select one for each if thats your choice, amazing program!

Can you run SLi while using two screen. When ever I turn sli on, it doesnt recognize my other monitor, but when I reset up the monitors, i turns sli mode off.

I have no clue. But one thing i wanna ask now, is it possible to make a batch file that will enable / disable my secondary monitor? That may just be easier to simply turn off my other monitor when im trying to play a game.

No, unless you run a third card just to run the second display. I'd dump those 8600GTS onto ebay and get a 512mb 8800GT and have both displays work...

To get a single wallpaper if each monitor is say 1280x1024 then make something in PS that is 2560x1024 and set it to tile, it will stretch over both screens.

I just decided ill disable my right monitor everytime I play a game. Sucks though cause I have icons on that screen and they always move to the left side and fuxxor it all up when I do that.
