well i gues you would need special driver utilities for that to make full screen of opengl or directx spread on both ends
have you tried omega drivers from ATI |

There should be no problem as long as you got the software set up right. So download the latest drivers and software and install. If you have done so and it doesn't work you might wish to get a driver cleaner utility and remove all old drivers and then install the new ones.
Then of course you might have the software installed correctly but setting wrong for your monitor. Could it be that you're trying to use too high resolution or refresh rate? If you suspect it, drop the resolutions significantly and see if it works. |

xp has the ability to enable/disable dual monitor. Go to the screen properties (where you can select resolution etc.).
There you right-click on the 2nd monitor and select the first option (attach or dock, I have a dutch xp, so I don't know what it is in english). |
