I have an ATI Radeon 9200 in my XP box. I had it plugged in to my TV for a while, which worked great (DVI cable to an HDTV). Well, I decided to plug in my computer monitor, so that I could mess with it while my wife watched TV. Again, everything worked fine. I had my desktop on each screen, so they always looked exactly alike.
Then, just playing around, I checked the box in the video settings for "Extend desktop across this monitor". Apparently that was a big mistake. It works, but that's not what I want. I want to go back to having two separate monitors. However, Windows won't let me uncheck that box anymore. I've tried every combination I could think of in the Windows Display settings (two checkboxes, one for "Extend" and one for "Make primary"), to no avail.
Could anyone help me out? I even tried unplugging the TV, rebooting, plugging the TV back in, and rebooting again, and still no good.
Thanks in advance.
