Hey guys I recently just purchased a second montior for my setup. My main monitor is connected to a DVI port (144hz) and my second in is HDMI. How do I make it so when I want to drag something over (the monitor is to my left) it goes on the 2nd monitor. I can drag stuff onto it but I have to move my mouse to the right because the PC thinks the monitor is on my right hand side. I cant explain it properly but I hope you guys know what I mean. I also cant customize anything on the second monitor. My task bar on my main display is on top for the primary and for the secondary its at the bottom and I cant fix it. Anyone know how to fix it so I drag everything to my left instead of the right hand side? Thanks.
 
Solution
If its Windows 7 or Vista, you should be able to right click on the desktop and click Screen Resolution, and you should have Multiple displays set to "Extend these displays" thats assuming your graphics and driver version supports it. But it should be fairly simple with any modern mainstream graphics device.
