hi all

i’ve got a little problem with my monitors, i’m pretty sure it’s some small thing, but i can’t seem to find it.  
i’ve put the resolution on my primary screen at 1280_1024, but when i put my second screen at 1280_1024, it doesn’t fit the screen :puzzled:  
it’s the exact same screen, same brand, both 19", but at a resolution of 1280_1024 it just doesn’t fit, i have to move my mouse to the sides of the screen to make it move so i can see all. if i put my secondary screen at 1024_768 it fits perfectly, but i actually want them both at 1280\*1024.

does anyone know how i can solve this?
