Nice Punk Rock, got any tips or tricks that I can add to my OP?

Anyone know how I can get this to work with monitor #2 on the left hand side inplace of the common right hand side?

I can not get this to work. I have to move the mouse to the right to get it on the left hand monitor, and wall paper and the task bar looked all fubar, lol.

I have my second monitor on the left of my main monitor due to the setup of my desk, and can not swap them for a while until I change the setup.

Just drag the monitor in display properties from one side to the other-

Awesome! I did not know you could do that, thank you so much for the info.
Now I don't have to rearrange my entire desk area!

You can still play games fine using 2 monitors right?

Yep, I have been playing a game on one monitor while I have my work stuff going on the other for the past two days, its pretty cool.

I mean just playing the game on both monitors. Thinking about switching to dual monitors but don't know if its worthwhile.

I don't see how two monitors would work well, if at all, tri monitors works great, but two would be off, as it would have to be centered between the two, and the center of the game would be on the split.

can i make my laptop be a 2nd monitor without tearing it apart like that one link says?
