go to your graphics control centre,you set them up there,if you hav'nt got the control centre, download the lastest drivers from their site (sapphire,radion.)that will give you the software to connect two monitors.

Best bet for driver is hereAmd game catalyst. You have option once installed to clone screen or extend screen. Just play around with it til you find the right settings.. BigGrin BigGrin BigGrin

Dont mess with the position of your monitors once they are on your desk. Just drag and drop the main screen to which ever side you want. Then extend to this screen or click this is my main screen.
I had probs with this as my main screen is on the right side of the left one, which is my extended desktop screen.
Do this by right clicking on desktop and choose the personalise option. this should take you to the right page, it also has resolution settings on this page as a clue.
Finally you should restart your pc then just check that nvidia/ati control panel has picked it up.
I think what im trying to say is, do it via Windows XP first. NOT the flakey graphics drivers.
Good luck

this is all assuming its not 2 crt monitors of course haha.

i remember double screening 2 of them and wow i got a head ache.

anyhooos if your running each via seperate cards you may find it a little easier. you didnt give much system congif info so we are mostly guessing at your setup being a standard one
