I have a dual monitor system at work.
Is there a way I can either set two separate jpg's as a background for the
separate monitors or "stretch" one across both screens?
I want one picture on one monitor and a different picture on my second
monitor
OR
Take one picture and stretch it across both monitors (instead of each
monitor displaying the entire picture, and having two copies up on the screen) |

The program UltraMon might do the trick. Try here

Any dual monitor card you use has this capability. You didn't provide
your setup, but I'm on my second nVidia card and it they've worked
great for me. Here's my current display, but I can of course span it
across both displays if I want to:

Not so. My ATI Radeon X700, for example, doesn't.

It's a software function, not hardware. Did you try HydraVision?

Looks like on my first monitor it is a RADEON 7000 Series
The Second monitor says "Intel(r) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller"
I won't be able to install the UltraMon program at work. Looks like I have
no chance, huh?

I don't know of any way to this without third-paryt software, and if you're
not permitted to install it, I would think you're out of luck.

I just wanted to see if it would work, and I was able to install it. But, I
think we have some sort of privacy policy about installing new software on
our work computers. I was surprised to find that my permissions did not
prevent me from installing the new software...Is there an uninstall feature?
