Your video card drivers might have tools to do it. Nvidia drivers have built in desktop manager tools that can do it but I found it to be unreliable. I just use photoshop to make a super wide image of the right resolution and apply it like you would any other desktop background. Looks like you run mismatched resolutions though so that won't work real well.

If you run nvidia cards let me know and I'll tell you where to look.

Yep im running mismatched. I cant afford another 17" to go next to it lol. I am running nvidia too. the card is nvidia mx4000 if that helps at all.

I got as far as making it work with both monitors then got stuck lol

I've ran dual with 2 different size screens. I just set the res the same for both and enabled dual in my video properties. If you don't have the Nvidia drivers/software just get it at the Nvidia web site. I think the MX400 is a GeForce series.
