Extend the desktop? By right-clicking on the screen and selecting properties/settings.

Games on 2 monitors are crappy, unless you have something that will put a full screen on one and something else (say status or contols) on another. Because when you have an image in the middle of the screen, it will have a 2 inch wide black band splitting it in 2. If you want a larger display, sell yoru 2 monitors and get one larger one, or get a 3rd monitor. There are many games that work well on 3 monitors, 2 is a bad idea.

I think he wants to extend game across 2 monitors, but I don't believe there is a way to do that. I have 2 monitors, and normally switch from extended desktop to duplicate so that my mouse doesn't wander over to the screen that isn't displaying the game. If you want to game on multiple monitors I believe that you have to have a minimum of 3 screens and a card that supports EyeFinity or nVidida's equivalent.
