Not a good idea to connect 2 monitors together to watch becasue there will be a gap in the movie. Where the 2 monitors connect, there will be a 1 or 2 inch gap. But if you stil want to do that. Hook one monitor up to the computer and the other to the graphics card.

Then right click your desktop and go to properties>settings and then click on the advanced tab. Click the display tab. Then set the monitor accordingly and your done.

i already have it in extended desktop, i have been running 2 monitors just fine its when you watch a movie wmp doesnt let you stretch the movie across the 2 screen. but either way i figured it out. i just am using VLC player with a forced aspect ratio of 260:100. works just fine. as for the gap its not as big of a deal as i thought it was going to be.
