What's your problem? I don't understand. Plug them in and go to the NVidia console and it'll detect everything and do most of the configuration for you. The windows setup will let you figure out how you want the screens to show. I just have mine set with extended desktop.

In the display settings in the control panel, you have it set to extended desktop and both options below checked?

I'm at work with a computer that only has one monitor and is still with XP. Maybe someone else can jump in here. Otherwise I'll look and see if you got it fixed when I get home tonight. Can you slide things across from one screen to the other? If not you're not inextended desktop mode and you need to be there for sure, like I can run RW on one side (only in windowed mode) and do my painting or be online on the other. If I go to full screen it shuts down RW when I do something on the other monitor.

Holy cow: Cinerama! (Anyone else old enough to remember that wrap-around system of cameras and projectors that predated I-MAX by decades?)

I've seen Railworks used on multiple monitors using special hardware, of which I don't remember the name, but its logo was displayed on the RW loading creen.

I think you can forget it if you don't have this hardware, but last time I checked was several months ago.
Google search will find several discussions on this, especially on Steam forums.

Stykx had multi monitor set up. That is probably what you remember seeing.
