nvidia dual monitors - independent resolutions

I am attempting to get my video settings so that I can run independent resolutions on each monitor (one being a 19" and the other a 17").

I have tried using a variety of driver versions:
42.82 (not currently listed on nVidia's site Link)
41.09 (WHQL Candidate)
40.72 (WHQL Certified)

Me and my friend have practically identical systems:
MainBoard: Epox 8K7A
CPU: AMD 1800+
Video: Albatron Ti4200P Turbo
RAM: Mushkin 2 x 256 MB PC2100
DVD Rom: Pioneer 106S
CD-RW: Phillips CDRW800

The only differences are my Hard drive (WD1000BB) and NIC (3Com 3C905-TX).

Now my friend runs WinXP and I run Win2k. My friend CAN run independent resolutions (with 41.09) and I cannot.

Is there a setting I'm missing or is this ability only available on WinXP?

Thanks in Advance.
 
I was finally able to figure it out. There is an option that was difficult for me to locate. Under the Geforce tab from the Advanced tab from the display settings... there is a check box that says "Treat multiple outputs on an nView-capable board as seperate display devices." After clicking that and two reboots, I was good to go.
