"Out of range" meaning that some of the contents on the screen are out to the sides where you can't see them? If so usually it is just a resolution adjustment. Depending on what software you have, you can just go in there and set the resolution to what each monitor can handle. Like my main screen is a widescreen and is set at 1680x1050 and my other monitor is set at 1600x1200.
 
After playing about i now have both monitors showing the same thing,how can i change them so i can do things on a different monitor.Does that make sense to anybody.
 
I will try. I use wallpaper for example that extends across two monitors. Its extended wallpaper for two monitors.

I will open up something like photoshop and a picture i want to edit. Dont maximize the picture. Shorten it. drag it to the other monitor. Then i will open another occurrence of the program. I can max that screen then edit the picture. If you max a screen like firefox then resize the screen, that program will always start on that screen. which ever screen you drag it too. If the screen is full size then will likely always start on the primary as before.
