I have just linked up my 2nd tft monitor and installed the driver. I want to stretch the image over both screens so that I can drag things onto the other screen but am unsure how to do this. Is it in the control panel? Also the 2nd monitor is blurry, the first one is grainy and the wireless mouse seems to be unusable. Anyone got any suggestions please? Many thanks as always L.Dudley

Go into your control panel and double-click Display. Open the Settings Tab. Here you should see two monitor icons labeled 1 & 2. Make sure #1 is on the left. If it is not already set up as your primary monitor, you may have to check the box "Use this device as the primary monitor."

Click on the Monitor #2 icon and check the box that says "Extend my Windows Desktop onto this monitor."

Make sure that the resolution and refresh rates for both monitors are at the same settings.
