Are you sure that you don't have one monitor on the DVI port and one on the VGA port?

Well, you need to configure your video card through the display properties. It's kinda like two desktops that are "shared". Like if I have an application on my right monitor and I maximize it, it will maximize only on my right monitor. You have only one taskbar that shows only on you primary monitor. The wallpaper is the same on both mintors, you cannot have two different wallpapers. Think of the second monitor as extra space to put more stuff. I'm sorry if I have you all confused.
Actually I don't even have two ports on my video card(I just looked). I have only one DVI port with a Y splitter connected to it, the cable has 1 DVI on one end and 2 VGA on the other end.
I wish I had a camera with me so you could see it.
