Is there a way to get the Maximize button under XP to span dual monitors?

I have 2 HD monitors (46", 768x1360) connected to a single single XP system. I have an application window that I'm trying to span across both monitors. If I manually drag the application's right pane into the 2nd monitor, it works fine. But as soon as I hit the Maximize button it all goes back to the primary monitor in 768x1360 mode. Is there a way to configure XP so that the maximize button spans both monitors?

Might the orientation the issue? These monitors are oriented vertically (portrait), and are side-by-side. But we've set the display settings to portrait mode, so I would assume it knows the secondary monitor is to the right.

The application does have a display setting and I've set it to 1536*1360.

This is NVIDIA NVS 120M graphics chip, btw.

Thanks for any advice.
