It's really quite simple. Your video should have two connectors on the back, one blue and one white. The card should also have come with a small connector that looks like it plugs into the white port and allows for a monitor to be plugged into the other end. With that you can connect a second monitor with no problem.

Then in the windows display properties, go to the settings tab and click advanced. You should see another window with a lot of tabs. Click on the displays tab (I think thats correct) and you should see 3 or 4 different display pictures including CRT, flat pannel, and TV. Once you have the two minitors hooked up, click display devices connection or something like that. Set the resolution and make them seperate displays.
