OT: Dual displays in 2000 vs XP

Hi All,

Off topic, but I have this in my HA setup, and I am sure someone here
will know this off the top of there head.

I have in my HA setup a Dual display configuration on XP with Nvidia
cards and what I think is called "extended desktop".

In this case one screen is the primary with the task bar etc, and the
other is the secondary to which I can drag windows, with windows
bordering in each screen and maximised to each screen.

I just brought a spare TFT to work with Windows 2000 and an ATI card.

Now I can place the desktop stretched across both monitors, but this
is no good as windows maximise across both screens and dialogues
appear in the center, ie across the gap!

I really want this to run in primary / secondary mode, rather than
shared.

Is this possible with ATI on 2000, how do I turn on what I think
woudl be extended desktop behaviour for 2000?
