Dual monitors don't line up

[Desmond]

Hi. This is a bit strange. I have a dual monitor and when I move the
mouse from one to the other the mouse is higher up the screen. In
properties > ettings I have both the monitors but the secind monitor
is smaller height wise than monitor one. I can push 2 up or down but
not stretch it's height.

Is there a way around this.

Do the monitors have identical native resolutions ?

Also, there is a picture on this page.

Are you using "span" mode or "dual view" ? Dual view
makes the monitors independent of one another, so the
resolutions can be different. If the monitors are
identical, then span mode might work better.

That's done by adjusting the resolution.

At least through Windows XP, all you have to do is make the
resolutions equal and then click/drag the monitors into position. I
never use the video card software to do that, I just use Windows
settings, so I don't mess with "dual view" or whatever.
