I am not familiar with the 7000 ati I have tried the 7700 and it works ok, but they recommend the ati 9000 whick they sell here for about 109.00 with 128 meg of ram, not to bad a deal.
do exactly as gduns says.

1: with your mouse over an area of your desk top right click and select properties.

2: go to settings. what you should see is 2 monitors in the picture block.

3. click on monitor 2.

4. below the picture there should be 2 boxes you can click on.
the second box should have the words extend my desktop onto this monitor. click that box.

5. click apply.

at this point you should be in business.
