dual monitor setup

Post by ReadyMan »

I finally got my second flatscreen monitor!
I have it all setup and working, but I cant figure out how to move the monitors left to right:
monitor #1 is on my right and it's my main display.
monitor #2 is on the left
I want to be able to move my mouse from left monitor, to the right monitor.

However, at the moment, to move my mouse from monitor one to #2, I have to go all the way right, to get to the left monitor.

I'm sure there's a simple way to do this, besides making monitor #2 my main display.
Any help is appreciated!

Click on display properties (properties on the desktop) go to the settings tab. See the graphical representation of the two monitors? Try dragging them around with your mouse a bit...

Oh, and depending on whether you have ATI or nVidia, download Ultramon to extend your Task Bar across both screens. nVidia users shouldn't require that.

Also, make sure you install Powerstrip (BY Entech of Taiwan), and become familiar with it.
