Dual Monitors - mouse wrap-around

I've recently received a new machine and the video card supports dual monitor output.
I have it set up OK, however I wish to set it up such that I can move my mouse to the LEFT of my primary monitor and have it appear on the RIGHT of my secondary.
Currently it only works the other way around - ie moving the mouse past the RIGHT of the primary screen results in the cursor appearing in the LEFT of the secondary screen - and vice versa.

Either physically swap the monitors around or right click on your desktop and select properties. On the settings tab you should find a picture of two monitors. Drag them to the correct position.

I dont think you can have it both ways though. You either have it going off of one side or the other i think.

As Rimfire suggests, you need to change the positions of the monitors in the software. Find that in the display settings. There should be a pair of monitors showing side by side. Just drag the right to the left side or vice versa.
