How to increase number of pixels?

I run three identical monitors at 1280 x 1024. Regular desktop background pixs are just repeated on each screen. I have read that the way to spread one pic accross all screens is to use the "tile" setting and have each pic exactly the right size to fill all three screens.

I need to know how to convert a regular image to be 3840 x 1024 to cover all the screens. I understand that the resolution and quality will be poor, but oh well.

Update:

Stretch does not work with multiple screens. You wind up with the same pic on each screen.

Update 2:

I have done all the things with the displays you suggest. They all work fine and you can move a window from one screen to another.

What I need is a editing program to increase the pixel count of the images.

    If you have the same display on three different monitors, you first have to change the mode of the graphics card from "Clone" to "Multi-Display" or whatever your graphics card calls these modes. Then depending on what OS you're using, you have to tell your OS to use all three displays. In Windows, you check the box that says "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" for each monitor.
