This is probably a stupid question, but does anyone know how to (or if it's possible) get the desktop to display on one monitor w/o completely disabling the second? I want to open two apps simultaneously, but as it is, each monitor is a mirror of the other. Just installed this card under XP, with no conflicts or <other> issues.

Thanks in advance!

Uninstalled/re-installed the drivers and voila! Must of screwed something up on the first try. Sweet card - I'm able to run my twin G520's @ 1600x1200/100mhz and spreading certain apps over both is a nice convenience. Haven't tried any 3D stuff yet....
