    Dual Monitor Questions

    Recently I got a free 19' Dell Monitor, and I have never dual boxed before, so I am dual boxing my 22' with my 19'.

    I just had a few questions about this

    Since they are not the same monitors, I say Dual screen wallpapers would be out of the question.
    How do I get separate wallpapers on each monitor?

    Another question is, When I save a picture of like my desktop, it takes a picture of both desktop, how do I take a picture of only my main monitor?

    look up a program called ultramon, it'll help you out with the first thing

    The second thing idk, can probably do it with a screen cap program.

    I've read up on Ultramon, sounds very promising, is the trial worth it? or should I just torrent it?

    Alright another question, my 22' i am playing on 1600x900 Resolution, I want to play on something smaller on my 19' is there a way of doing that without messing up my other resolution? I guess what i'm trying to say is, can I open ffxi on my 19' to show up something smaller than 1600x900?

    First of all, edit your posts, don't double post.

    Anyway, set your FFXI resolution to whatever you want it to be (in the FFXI config), and make the 19" dell the primary monitor and it'll open on there in the resolution that you set.

    Also there is no shortcut that I know of to screencap just one monitor, but if you want to screencap just one program do a alt-print screen and that should just screencap that program (doesn't work with FFXI, though)
