Please check these settings:

• On the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog box, click the monitor icon that represents the monitor you want to use in addition to your primary monitor.
• Click to unselect the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box. Click Ok/apply and refresh the display. You can read this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307873 for further information.
