Dual Monitor Setup

Hello everyone... I have grown very impatient while attempting to setup a second monitor to my computer. I have a NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 and I have read that they are capable of running 2 monitors. I need to run 2 monitors in order to keep up with more online poker tables... The sooner the better.
My video card has the 24 pin slot, and the 15 pin slot on the back of the video card. I have bought cords/connectors so that both monitors are hooked up through seperarate cords... VGA/DVI? :-D Anyway...I figured that I could just hook both of them up and restart...
When I go to properties/display my computer only picks up one monitor... Please help me.

Yes, I just had my hard-drive replaced and recently re-installed all the new drivers that I could find. It is very important to get both of the monitors running, in order to drag windows freely amongst the 2 ASAP.
I would appreciate all the help that I can get.
