I'm a little unclear what your question/problem is?

Do you have two monitors? Or do you WANT to use two monitors?

What OS are you using?
What type of Video card do you have?
Are the video card drivers up-to-date?
What software are you runing to utilize dual monitors? AutoCad? Adobe Photoshop? etc...

Going to need a little better description of what is happening.

One screen is setup for Desktop mode & the other is setup for programs. If you bring up a program (ie word) it should fill up the montior on your right & your desktop (left monitor) stays open showing icons. The right montior is an extension of the left (desktop). You need to change the settings of what you want within your Video card drivers.

I’ve seen that question before and the answer is minimize the screen u r trying to move. u must be trying to move it with the windows maximized.

Full screen causes issues with moving Icon's?

I didn’t mean to minimize I used the wrong term I meant it can't be maximized when u try to move it. Click on the button in the middle to get into standard format not max before u try to move it. Please forgive no I don't think u can move an icon.
