Hello,
I have two screens connected to my PC with an Nvidia card. So far, everything is fine, I can connect both screens in clone mode. But what I would like to do is to be able to move certain windows from one screen to the other. For example, browsing the web on one screen and working on Word on the other. Or having my Photoshop tools on one screen and my workspace window on the other. How can I do that? Oh yes, I am using Vista.
ThanksConfiguration: Vista

Hi!
This might sound silly, but how are your screens physically positioned on your desk? I mean, I assume you have your main screen and an additional one to the right or left.
In the display settings under Windows, there's a moment where you see a diagram showing SCREEN 1 and SCREEN 2 (1 being the main one and 2 the additional one). By default, 2 is to the right of 1, which means if you want to go to your screen 2 with your mouse, you have to pass through the right edge of screen 1 (as if 2 is on the right). In your case, if 2 is on the left, naturally you'll want to go through the left edge of 1. To fix the issue (if that’s the case, of course), you can click on 2 and move it to be above, below, to the left, or to the right of 1 so that Windows reflects the physical position of your screens.
Phew, I hope I was clear.
