I can try that, but there is a wall to the left of monitor 1, but with the restricted space, it may not be possible.

What do you think might be achieved by that ? Anyway monitor 2 cannot be physically located to the left of the master
monitor, number 1 !

Ah daylight... its only a theoretical move, will try it and we will see what eventuates :-)

1370898 2014-03-26 21:21:00 What graphics card are you using? sometimes the driver software has it's own monitor management options that can interfere with the standard display options. Normally you can use either to set up your monitors but sometimes it works better with one or the other.

My laptop with intel graphics took a bit of fiddling about with the intel driver and the windows settings before it would work as wanted with dual screens & a dock but my desktop PC with Nvidia graphics works from either windows display options or Nvidias software just fine. Generally you just drag one monitor into the correct position in the software as per previous comments.
