help with my monitors

[oneafterdark]

alright guys. I got two monitors that i just hooked up.. i have an ati radeon 7000 series card, and a dvi to vga adapter.. i got it to work alright, except that the resolution on the #2 monitor can only be rather large.. i dont know if im just not setting it up right or what. And am i not supposed to have a ... i think its a task bar at the bottom of my screen? like the windows task bar? and i have these desktops that have two images for both sides of the screen, but this card wont let me do that because of some reason.. any help?

I have an 8500... Last time I tried doing this, I just clicked on the 2nd monitor on display settings and changed the res to whatever I wanted. I, however, didn't have any taskbar or anything on my other screen, but I could drag things over there...

Now I DID have a taskbar over there if I just mirrored the screen. That's how I normally work, then in theater mode so I can watch movies on my TV and such... An idea ATi stole for me...long story.
