Default ati dual display configuration limitation : Windows or driver problem?

I have an ati Radeon 7000 video card. It allows for having two
displays and expands your desktop to two screens (one giant
2560x1024 resolution screen.

BUT : windows popup right in the middle between two screens,
everything is streched (toolbars etc.) and split between the
screens. Its so annoying that I have actually stopped using
the second screen.

It would have been more useful to limit windows popping
in the single screen (where the cursor is) much in the way the Macintosh
had implemented the multi screen scheme (Macintosh is not an
option for me). Is there a tool out there to do this, where the
second screen is independent and windows don't pop split between
the two screens. Of course you should be able enter the second screen
via cursor movements.

Thanks so much in advance,
Ben

If you don't have Hydravision installed, get it from Ati's website.

Right click on the ATI logo in the task bar, and select
Hydravision-HYDRAVISION Properties. Click on the help button, and then
select "Window Control".

I enable "single monitor windows". I also use the dialog controls.
