help setting up my dual monitors

[White_hell]

Hi
I recently got a new monitor (nothing fancy, its limited at 1280x1024)

But however when i try setting up the second monitor the resolution is capped at 1024x768 and it wont let me go any higher unless i set it as a the primary monitor

But when i do that my other monitor then gets capped at 1024x768.

Why can i put it up to a higher resolution?!?

Also as a side note, im mainly wanting these dual monitors for gaming, so how do you exactly make the game's resolution stretch over to both monitors

Thanks for any help

if you want things to stretch across monitors you will have to set it to horizontal span i think providing you have a nvidia card not sure hwo to do it on ati.

the option should be under multiple displays in nvidia control panel
