I am using a second monitor for movies but it can only be set to the desk top screen. do I need a different driver? it is a hp pavilion dv4000.

Not sure what you're trying to do, but that's normal. One monitor shows the icons and taskbar, the other is blank till you move something there. If you want both to show the same thing you need to use the "clone" option in the video drivers.
