    I think this depends on if your graphics card allows this.

    ATI cards do allow this I believe and they have software to achieve it.

    What do you have?

    I could be wrong though....but lets start with your graphics card type.

    Both ATI and Nvidia offer software to do this, But as far as doing this with games its not possible unless the game is written to do this because of the way direct x and windows works with multiple monitors.

    Its not possible unless the game specifically is created to support duel monitors, The nvidia/ati software drivers will work with most non direct x stuff but not with games.
