    Default HELP!!!! dual screens

    i set my laptop up with dual screens. but i have my laptop on my right side and my 2nd monitor 4 feet to the left

    my computer thinks that its the other way around
    moving between screens is confusing because to go to the screen on the left i have to move my mouse off the right edge of the screen on the right

    but now i can mix with traktor on 1 screen and my email on the other
    im kidding about the email thing :P

    Right click on desktop -> properties -> settings tab

    You'll see two monitors labeled 1 & 2. Drag the icons to arrange them how you want. Near the bottom of the box you'll see two check boxes, one labeled use this device as my primary monitor and the other labeled extend my desktop onto this monitor. Select the appropriate check boxes for each monitor and you should be good.
