I have an ATI radeon wiith DVI out and sVideo out. I'm currently using the VGA out for my first monitor

also i have a television. and finally, a reciever with 2 3' tall bombass speakers

the plan is to do a dual monitor setup, with my television as the second monitor, and have the speakers from the receiver be used

any help is nice

Using your tv as a second monitor is a pain. Mainly because it's so difficult to read. If you right click your desktop and go into properties and then go to advanced. You should see a tab that says displays. There should also be a video overlay option or something. When I had my tv hooked up there was an option called clone view or something and that did the job fairly well when I was watching movies.
