Multiple Displays

In the future I am looking to use 2 monitors. I have been searching around but can't seem to find anywhere that shows what I want to do. I have seen other people with dual monitors but its not the way I want it to be. When you play a game in full-screen, is spans across both, when you maximize a window on the desktop it spans across both. The start menu spans across both. What I want to do is basically have 2 monitors acting as if they are connected to 2 different computers while still being able to use the one keyboard and mouse on both monitors. So for instance what I want to do is be able to have a game in full-screen that only goes full-screen on one monitor and have a movie or web browser in full-screen that only goes full-screen on the other monitor. I also want each to have hits own taskbar and start menu. How can this be achieved?

I'm not exactly sure how you have done that, when I make a game full screen, it automatically spans across both, I can't drag a full screened game anywhere. The same applies to web browsers, I can manually make it full screen by dragging it out, but I hate the border so I prefer to have it truly maximized.

yeh for me it does this by default? Can play game on one screen, have media center running tv on the other...odd that it doesnt do it for you

There's no option for that in display settings. I remember there used to be 2 screens you could click on in older driver versions, but now there is just the picture of one monitor and the resolution is set at 2560*1024.
