do you have two video cards or one card with duel pig tails, if its the latter you can't do it

Yes you can, if it's a dual head card. That's what dual heads are for.

GLC I have a AIW 9600xt with duel pigtails and does not give me the option to have different images on each monitor

my mistake was not seeing he had a 9800 pro

The AIW 9600XT is dual head. You don't have it configured correctly if you can't extend the desktop across both monitors.

Pro, just for you info, a great utility I use for multi monitor setups is Ultramon (http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/) it has all kinds of nice options and features.

Also, if you have a NVidia card you can use the driver control panel to specify which monitor a program opens on. ATI most likely has this as well, I am not sure.
