How do I split screens on Windows 7

I have 2 23 inch monitors connected to 1 Windows7 PC.  I want to evenly split (vertically) my screens so on both monitors I have a total of 4 equally sized panes. I cant seem to figure out how to do it..I even bought Ulta Mon, but that doesnt seem to do anything to help out..

pbo1--Right click the Taskbar.  Click "Show Windows Side by Side".  You will now have two windows sharing the screen.  To revert to one, click the Maximize button next to the X at the very top right.
You can also make a window occupy only half a screen by dragging it to the side until it dims.  Release the mouse click and it will stay there. You then can do that for a second window.

Once split on default desktop monitor clone the display onto the secondary screen. Or use dual monitors in the disply properties of the video card
 how do you have the secondary monitor connected?
On the video card TV out?
Could be important as options for clone mode dual screens differ with connection types and monitors types.
Is one a TV or both the same monitor?
Ultra monitor? May not correctly perfom this
Try this SplitView
