Well you haven't exactly said how far you get when it crashes. The usual crash with dual monitors is when it flickers when starting and then crashes. This can be solved by pressing alt and return together as soon as this starts happening to get the game into windowed mode, then going into the options and setting the correct screen size and then ticking fullscreen. If it is crashing at a different time and in a different way then you will have to explain further.

You can also try browsing to your Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\system folder and deleting the killingfloor.ini file - it isn't the .int file, it may just be called killingfloor and have a cog on the icon, or if you have system files hidden, either unhide them, or delete the whole system directory. You might need to verify the game cache afterwards - right-click the game in Steam -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game cache.

yes thats egzactly what happens my main screen gos black and the 2nd refreshes and flashes like it has teretts

In which case try doing what I suggested and that should work. If not you'll have to edit the ini file to start windowed or add the -windowed launch option in the game properties (can't remember if that is right).

It sounds like your 2nd screen isn't disabled, also does the -windowed command line flag work? Never tested it myself

Control and enter won't work, which is why I told you to use alt and enter.
