Strange display problem on desktop
Hello, I've been using Windows 7 since release date. I'm using home premium if it matters. Anyway, I recently decided to upgrade to dual monitors.
I have a 20" in portrait on the left and a 27" on the right.
The 27 is the main display
The problem i am having is that a white box, about 400px x 350 px appears on my 20".
The box only appears on the desktop, however, it covers up th wall paper and icons, and cannot be interacted with (no click, no dragging box, no right click), The mouse shows up over it, as does any window.
when I hover over the aero peek show desktop button in the right corner of my screen, it disappears.
Now the interesting bit that i found out, is that the box is always at the height where my 27 inch starts. For example, because my 20 in portrait is longer than the height of my 27, it hangs over below and above. The white box appears just above the usable pixels from the 27, such that if you drug your mouse from the 27 to the 20, the mouse would be at the very bottom of the box.
I found this out, by moving the monitors around with the screen tool or whatever.
The problem does not occur if the 20" is the main monitor, or if i tell the computer the 20" is on the right.
It would appear that it is just automatically to the upper left of my main monitor no matter what, and i cannot get rid of it.
Any ideas?
