So I have both Monitors hooked up and I can duplicate the screen so I know theyre both hooked up, but when I go to:
-> Multiple Displays - Extend these Settings I cannot drag anything to the old (#2) monitor.

What am I doing wrong? Please help! I've googled it and watched Videos about set up and I just don't get it.

thanks in Advance!

*I just looked again and I CAN and did "Identify" it and everything appears to be correct, but still no joy moving things over

When you ID'd the monitors, are Monitor 1 and Monitor 2 aligned in settings the way they are physically on your desk? You need to make sure the settings alignment is correct, as that dictates where the border between the two screens is (drag to the left vs drag to the right).

Not enough to make a difference unless you're upgrading from a CRT.
