On that screen, you can choose which monitor to make your primary one. Astronomer and Belted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If all good there and good as per above in the windows display properties, and still no go, swap the cables around on the video ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neat little program for managing multiple displays and also ability to have a taskbar on both displays. I have 3 monitors and this program works nice with some of its features.
