    Default Dual Monitor - How?

    I've got a Radeon 9000 Pro 128Mb with dual display support. I've got all the latest drivers and last night I tried hooking up another CRT monitor to it (with the DVI/VGA converter). My goal is to be able to play a PC game (Asheron's Call 2 or Morrowind) on one screen while displaying its walkthru on this site, or even to talk to people on AIM as I play. I'm not sure if this is possible, as I tinkered through the settings last night. I could specify what applications opened in a different desktop, but I couldn't display both at once; rather, one desktop at a time was displayed on both screens.

    Can someone walk me thru how I would be able to have everything I do on one monitor and then open an application/game so it only appears on the other monitor? Also, how would the input work? If I am using WASD in a game, cliking with a mouse, hitting keys, does it affect the other things on the primary monitor?

    As you can see, I'm kind of lost here.
    Help.

    You need the Hydravision software installed to configure dual monitor support.
