multiple wallpapers

Hi

I've just added a second monitor to my system.
2 questions:

Q1: what's the best way to add more monitors?
my video card supports 2 monitors only.

Q2: how do I get windows to display separate
backgrounds on each monitor?

TIA

www.google.com for potential sites)

The best way: replace your video card with one that supports more monitors.
The second-best (and only other) way: buy and install a second video card.

You don't, not unless you install third-party software with this capability.
