Dual Monitor (issues)

Hey there, well i had a dual monitor set up which i used to run perfectly. I have a monitor that runs 1680x1050, thats my main display. I had a 15 inch which i ran 800x600 I think, i am not really sure, I had a friend set it up for me a long time ago, and now he moved and I don't talk to him anymore.

The problem i had was that I tried to add a bigger monitor a 17 inch i believe, I couldnt get that to work either, but I figured it was to much, and my 15 inch was fine for what I was doing.

Now the problem I have now, is that I am trying to add the 15 inch back, and now i can't. It doesnt read it. I read through numirous articles on how to install dual monitors, but none of them seem to work.

I went to
Properties>Settings>

I see the second monitor, I try to attach it, but it doesnt work, I set it to 800x600 and nothing, I hit the "exnted my windows desktop onto this monitor".

I am running windows xp pro. Both Monitors are Dells, i have a Radeonx600 series and it has the slot for the two monitors.

I tried removing the second monitor, doing the same process as above and restarting, and nothing.

Maybe someone can help me i hope. Thanks in advance.
