Dual monitor dilema

I have an ATI 9800xt. I set it up with 2 monitors. I am an admin on a CS:S server. I want to know if it is possible to use an admin tool on the other monitor without it minimizing my game. Right now it minimizes the game when i try to use another prog on the second monitor.

It may depend on how you have the monitors and desk top setup. On my system I have the desk top on monitor 2 and nothing on #1. I can play BF 1942 on monitor 1 and still run stuff on #2.

but does BF 1942 minimize whne you use another program. My problem is that CS:S minimizes when i try to use the admin tool on the other screen. I tried seeing if i could run it in window mode to no avail. Is there a program or anythign out there that would give me two independant desktops or do i need to get a bottom of the line pci vid card to do what i want to do?
