If your 2 video cards are in CrossFire, you can't do this... CrossFire only allows for 2 screens.

Yes, but I'm not quite sure how... I'm not at my computer right now.

Hey mehrdad... just go to your display settings through Control Panel (or by right-clicking your desktop and selecting Properties/Personalize). Look for an option that says "Extend desktop to this monitor" or something similar. Make sure it's checked.

Sorry for not posting a screenshot. Don't have a secondary display with me right now.
