Hi Doug,

I do not know if it matters which monitor is where, but if not, you can just physically switch the monitors around?

If it does matter, then look in your video cards control panel and check your multiple displays settings. I have NVIDIA, so in "Set up multiple displays" in step 2 of the NVIDIA Control Panel, I have it set as my left monitor + right monitor with the left monitor selected as the primary in step 3. You may have step 2 reversed.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: multible monitors

Open the Display Settings and drag one of the monitors over to the opposite
side.

You've already got the answer to your problem, but this program is essential
if you use multiple monitors. You can switch monitors around using this,
and do lots of other stuff, but most importantly, you can have Taskbars on
the other monitors.

Oh, and also swap those monitor cables around, so they are in the right
position by default. It's just neater that way.
