Well I have my samsung 710T (LCD-DVI) and a older 15" max 1024x786 monitor (Analog) running on my 9800pro. In my display settings, my computer does not show there being two monitors, just one, so it seems that I cannot click on use extended desktop. Both monitors work, but the 2nd one (the older CRT monitor) is in mirror mode, which I do not want.
So, why does windows not show both monitors in the display properties? How can I make it do so?

monitor setup
Display Properties

btw i running xp Home if that changes things....

ok, ive figured it out. I had previously disabled 9800pro - secondary driver in device manager figuring it was just a secondary driver that windows had, not that it was 2nd monitor driver. oops. all better now :)
