Dual monitor problem

I have a Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 video card which is supposed to support dual monitors. So I buy a new monitor today and tried to do a dual monitor setup. I installed the drivers for the new monitor, updated my video card's drivers, but when I go to desktop>properties>settings I only see one monitor. Like I can switch to the other monitor thru the nvidia controll panel or w/e but I cant have both monitors and have my desktop stretched to the other monitor. I dont know what I'm doing wrong.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yea I dont have a dropdown menu like the first picture, mine is like the second one. I asked the guy at the store if my video card supports a dual setup and he told me it should. Now I'm having second thoughts, cause I spent arround 350$ on my monitor, I could either get a new video card if this cant be solved or I could just upgrade my computer in that price.

Yea I needed this 2nd monitor since I do computer animation and working with a 17 inch monitor really isnt that great. I've searched online and I still cant find a solution, I've asked so many people and they all say that my video card should support it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well I've had surgery so I cant open the computer case or anything since that requires me bending down and sitting. Anyways I'm just guessing my video card doesnt support it since I've read some other forums and yea so I decided to return the monitor today. Sucks cause I liked this monitor too.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yea I have the latest drivers installed.

How ya doing, buddy?
