Assuming one of the monitors is digital, or you have the proper adapter for
the digital output to a analog monitor -
Right click on desktop, click on properties, or goto control panel, display
Click on settings
Drag the #2 monitor to the right or left side of #1 to match your actual
setup
Click on #2 and set it up how you want it (assuming #1 already set up)
Click on "extend to desktop"
Your done

Well John... The last time I tried it... only windowed mode worked. Using full screen didn't work at all.

I have NVidia, so it might be different here, but the general idea with
fs2k4 is that you start in windowed mode, open the extra windows you'll like
to have, detach those from the main window (rightclick) and put those where
you like the to be,
After that you can return to full screen mode.
Hope this helps
