You said that when you minimise a screen, (I assume you mean minimise a window), you can have it sit in limbo between the two monitors but you can only see the image on one monitor - the other monitor has a black screen.
Does that mean if you do not minimise a window, that it is visible on the 2nd monitor?
What do you mean by, 'in limbo'? When a window is minimised you should still be able to see it's application icon on the Taskbar.
Can you drag windows from one monitor to the other and still see it in either monitor display?

Hello. I am having an issue getting my dual monitors to work.
I have 2 Radeon x300 series monitors and a Dell Dimension 4700 with a pentium 4 and windows xp.
They are hooked up via a regular monitor plug and a div plug (with an adapter). Under the display Properties I have extended my window desktop onto the other montior.
When I minimize a screen I can have it sit in limbo between the two monitors but I can only see the image on one monitor - the other monitor has a black screen.
The monitor that I am seeing a visual on is plugged into the tradition monitor port. The other monitor is plugged into the adapter that is plugged into the dvi port.
Any suggestions?
