Setting Resolution for 2nd Monitor

I posted this question in General Hardware (one of my responses under the title "1501 Lockup"), but I'm posting it here because this seems like the appropriate forum. Sorry for the duplication.

Inspiron 1501, running XP Pro with SP2.

I loaded the latest ATI Control Center and drivers (from the ATI site, not Dell's older version. All seems to work well (short-term test), but I notice an annoying problem with the new control center. It appears that it does not allow me  to select a different resolution for my 2nd monitor (in this case, my TV) than I have for my computer monitor. This means that when I want to set optimum resolution for my computer, it will not be optimum for my TV (and vice versa). There are many times when I want to have both the TV and the computer monitors active (and showing the same screen), but would like to be able to set a different resolution for each. I was able to do this with the old Dell driver.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
