On that screen, you can choose which monitor to make your primary one. Astronomer and Belted 2 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. Awards

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.
