Exit right, enter left.
I know this has been done before, but I cannot find it in the search.
New motherboard, two monitors The one on the right is screen 1, the one to its left is screen two (forced upon me by Invidia control panel).
Mouse scrolls off the right hand edge of right hand screen - appears at left hand edge of left hand screen.
I asked before and it was a really simple fix. Anybody prepared to remind me? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

Presuming you're using the legacy Windows operating system... If you go to display settings, you'll see 2 little monitor pictures numbered "1" and "2", or in your case "2" and "1". Drag them around until they're in the right order.

Well, bugger me (as they say).
Took a bit of playing and clicking reset - but Avtrician had it right.
I've been doing the dual screen for almost two years without any full time problem - but if I tried to change anything, it sometimes caused glitches.
The "cable swap" has never worked - so i didn't even try it this time.
However, I noticed that the video control panel always recognised, and numbered, the monitors in the order in which they were connected - so, I unplugged both, plugged as Left = 1, Right = 2, hit reset and waited.
TaDa!!
To be fair to Shunter - that was exactly what I have been doing for the two years - drag/swap/drop.....but this graphics controler refuses to let me move things. Just not an option. All I "could" do was click to decide which would be the primary screen.
Sorted now, bunnies, thanks.

Yeah, the ATI catalyst software is much better for this kind of thing than Nvidia. I have two at work & spent ages on my hands and knees swapping the cables round before I realised I could do it from the desktop. Doh!

Well, I *am* considering hanging a third one on there - as i now have the second card. The only thing I have to feed it *TO* is an HDTV 15" LCD - via VGA or SVHS.
I'm not 100% sure (or even 50% about how to get my PC to output on both video cards without risking screwing up the first one).
I'm a tad wary of loading the driver software for the single P{CI card when everything ticks along on the dual PCI-E16 card already.
Would I expect *another* control panel?
