    Try this:

    Right click a blank area on the desktop.  Left click Personalize, Display settings.  In the Monitor window that opens you should see your two monitors.  Find out which is which by clicking Identify Monitors.  Click and drag the right hand monitor left to the left of the original left monitor and release the drag.  That should change the positions of the two monitors so that the mouse motions should be the way you want them.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Totally worked for me 100%. I've been messing with this for over a week, switching my video card inputs on the card, moving desktop icons, and even the task bar. What a quick fix! AWESOME! Took 30 seconds. Great instruction!
