ati dual monitor

I am running Vista on my main desktop and Dual monitor support is not functioning properly. Specs ATI Radeon 9200 128mb 768mb ram 600gb of hd space (200 available) AMD Athlon 2400+ Monitor 1: Dell 2405 - 1920x1200 Monitor 2: Hyundai IQ Q770 - 1280x1024
The primary monitor is functioning flawlesly but the second monitor is acting odd. When I set it to any resolution it is not filling up the monitor and at anything above 1024x768, the screen has to pan around in order to display the area where the mouse is. I have downloaded all ATI drivers and have searched google on numerous occasions with no success. Not sure if anyone is having the same problem or something similar. Hope someone can help.

I have no idea. I installed the ATI drivers a few times. I also changed the monitor drivers to the specs of my monitors. For my Dell 2407 I set the driver manually to digital 1920x1200 so the max resolution was that. Did the same for my Hyundai CRT set it to 1280x1024. Restarted and crashed my computer afew times. I think it was just luck that it started to work. Hope setting the driver manually helps. :)

I'm curious to know if Live TV in Media Center is working fine for you.

There is definitely an issue here: I found that swapping my Philips and Toshiba monitors around solved this problem in Vista. In XP I had to turn off a TV out option to stop it but you can't do this in Vista.
