I have background wallpapers that are 3360x1050 Dimension that I want to use across a dual monitors setup,
when I set background image, I get the same image on each monitor instead of 1 image across both.
Also my screen saver only works on 1 monitor and not both. It is already set to extend the displays
I have the Radeon HD 5450 video card with dual HDMI outputs two HP2509 monitors.
Could you give me some help with this ?

Since you have two 1920x1080 monitors, that means you need a 3840x1080 image. Second, you need to set the image to 'tile' in the desktop background settings. Beware - as it is, since the image isn't quite tall enough, you'll see the bottom of it starting again, another tile, unless you resize it properly.

I've been doing some research on this. Here's what I found.
Once you have a large-enough picture, you have to tell Windows touse it and to tile. In Windows 7, right-click the desktop and select Personalize. Near the bottom of the resultingwindow, click the Desktop Background link.

In the resulting Desktop Background window, you can selectthe folder containing your desired wallpaper and the photo (or photos) you wantto use.

Then, at the bottom of the window, click the PicturePosition pull-down menu and select Tile.Then click Save changes.

So why Tile? Allof the other options either stretch or shrink (and sometimes crop) the image tomake it fit your screen. And if you have more than one monitor, it does so foreach screen individually. You get the same image, resized, on each screen.

But with Tile, Windows displays the image in its originalsize. If the original size is too small for the screen (or screens), it repeatsitself. But if it's the right size or too big, it fills all of your screenswithout repeating anything. However, if it is too big, part of it will be cropped off.
