What he means is Horizontal span, exactly as he said. Instead of having 2 monitors set up as dual screen both displaying say 1680x1050, he means having both monitors setup to horizontal span so the resolution is 3360x1050 This enables full screen games to use a resolution of 3360x1050 spanning both monitors. The dual screen in vista was capable of allowing dual monitors running 1680x1060 but when you launched a full screen game, it turned off 1 monitor and only used your primary one. In XP horizontal span meant that you could use a full 3360x1050 resolution within a game with 2 monitors next to eachother.

So far I have not been able to find horizontal span in windows 7, which means I cannot play WoW on 2 screens, So yet again we are forced to use windows XP, unless we want to waste a perfectly good 2nd monitor. What he means is Horizontal span, exactly as he said.

Your description is articulate and spot on. This is the first time I have seen an understandable description of horizontal spanning, from anyone here. I have one system that is set up to dual boot XPPro SP3 and Windows 7. It has an ATI X600 video card with dual output. I have dual monitors connected to this system.

Looking at the display modes, in the Adapter properties, in either XP or Windows 7 the maximum resolution in 'List all modes' is 1280x1024. The only Windows option in the Display Settings is 'Extend Desktop' which seems to work OK to extend the display across both monitors. This allows me to use custom desktop wallpapers with a size of 3200x1200 pixels and these seem to display and span both monitors, without any stretching, as long as the 'extend' option in the display settings is enabled. I looked in XP, Vista, and Windows 7, and there is no default 'span' options at all? Doing a cursory search on this subject returns a massive amount of users 'finger pointing' about responsibility for this problem, but nothing that is really authoritative from any legitimate graphics industry manufacturer or Microsoft source?

The only reference to any 'horizontal span' settings are those that are associated with, and enabled in the graphics adapter software/driver settings. If you have any links to any authoritative source about this issue, please post this information. Regards, Thank You for testing Windows 7 BetaRonnie Vernon MVP. There is one workarround but it takes additional software to make it work.Note this is only for Nvidia display adapters using latest nvidia drivers in Vista.

I do not know of the software and this workarround work in windows 7. I also use World of Warcraft as the example game/software since it's what i was trying to get spanning in vista at the time.Step 1.

Create a custom resolution in the nvidia controll panel. It should be same height but twice the with.assuming both monitors are same size/make/model.Step 2. Purchase/install Ultramon.Step 3. Choose a hotkey for you to use to cause any window application to span both monitors.Step 4.

Open World of warcraft. Under video in resolution section you will see your custom resolution available. Make sure you selected windowed mode and maximized.step 5. Push the hotkey.i used ctrl-alt-numpad 0.Enjoy spanning both monitors with the application.WARNING: Ultramon has not been tested with windows 7 and i do not know if there is a 64 bit version. This should work with any software that allows you to play/use in Windowed mode, maximized. Some games and applications will still have a border when used in windowed mode.Another option is to purchase a Matrox Triplehead to go.assuming you wish to use 3 monitors instead of 2.

I'm having a similar problem. Toshiba bios master password generator download free. Nvidia has the correct resolutions, Windows has the ability to layout monitors over an extended desktop. I have 4 monitors and a mount for them with 2 up and 2 down.

Using Windows 7 RC. The Nvidia Control panel can set the resolutions correctly (1680x1050) but cannot configure the extended desktop. The Windows Control panel does see the correct resolution, but as soon as you reconfigure the 'Change Appearance of your Displays' it resets the resolution incorrectly on 3 of 4 of the monitors. Here is what I am stuck with Monitor1Monitor2Monitor3Monitor4 in the windows config even though my monitors are installed in a rack like this: Monitor1Monitor3 Monitor2Monitor4. 'Spanning' is the only way I've ever used dual monitors (side by side in my case). Other than arranging them vertically, I can't begin to imagine how any other mode would be useful or acceptable. Just to be clear, when I drag a window that opens on the left monitor, at some point it starts to drag onto the right monitor (and parts of it are shown on both).

Maximizing a window makes it show on only one monitor, but it's actually possible to stretch windows to cover both monitors. Generally speaking this doesn't work all that well because of the bezel space between the monitors, so I usually run apps either on one or the other, but being able to drag back and forth is essential. Currently (under Vista) my start bar only shows on my left monitor. This is actually the way I want it, as it keeps the right monitor simple and clean. It may be that at some time I set it to work that way, as I kind of recall being able to have it on both at one point. My only complaint is that while I have some images at high enough to span both monitors, selection of a desktop background through Vista's control panel duplicates the image on both monitors. Is the OP saying this kind of operation isn't possible in Windows 7?

I've only run Win7 in a virtual machine, which may not represent the way it will run on 'real' hardware very well. You're right gjpc!

I need this horizontal span to use full screen 3D software on all my 3 screens. Why microsoft has decided to delete this configuration? (to sell the matrox system like a last chance to use span with an expensive price?) if someone knows how to add a custom resolution in the nvidia panel, it could work with the Maelstorm1's method. I cant add my resolution 2880.900 (1440.900 + 1440.900 = horizontal span) Athlon x64 6400 2x3.3Ghz - 4Go DDR2 - GeForce GTX 260 SLI - RAID0 WD 2x500Go.

Are you saying that certain games, when told to go to 'full screen' mode only use one monitor, instead of both? If so, isn't that an issue with the game more than Windows? Or possibly the video driver? -NoelWell, I am not all-knowing but as it seems the video drivers is based on the WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) which is made by the OS manufacturer. Like, you can't put a horse saddle on a cow. Please see CarlUK's post above for a pretty straightforward clarification of resolution virtualization. Also, keep in mind that games are not the only applications that can go fullscreen.

Apllications using all screens in span mode: - a lot of screen savers - 3D apps designer (i use Blender) - i have eard Photoshop CS4 x64 - ALL GAMES (i use counter strike source) - full screen video player (i use media player classic) - the start menu of windows stretch on all screens - one background image over all screens - etc. See this picture with the original span mode in windows xp: (the dualview mode is the vista and seven extended desktop.)Athlon x64 6400 2x3.3Ghz - 4Go DDR2 - GeForce GTX 260 SLI - RAID0 WD 2x500Go.
