How do I make Nvidia 8800GTS show two different things on my dual monitors?

I was wondering like being able to playing PC games on one monitor and browsing web on other. I have an Nvidia 8800GTS with 2 monitors connected. Please help.

  5. Its fairly easy but games are the hardest to dual monitor why? Because often the game resizes one screen thus your mouse becomes trapped on one monitor and if it does get to the other monitor it often cannot come back properly and there are other problems. But if the game is window based and or does not resize the screen then its more possible. But what you want to do to get dual monitors is to go to the desktop , right click and go to properties , go to the settings tab , then you should see two rectangles or boxes or one of each representing your monitors. Click on the one thats not active then down below somewhere check the box that says extend desktop onto this monitor.

    If the two monitors do not show up under the settings tab you will probably need to check your connections and or restart the PC. Possible you may even need to change or set up some setting with your geforce program. But I do not know how to do that without being there and doing it myself.
