Final answer:
The problem likely lies in the display settings for monitor arrangement on the computer. The solution is to adjust the visual representation of the monitors in the settings to match their physical placement.
Step-by-step explanation:
When configuring a computer for two monitors, if the images go in the opposite directions when attempting to move them, it's likely that the display setting for monitor arrangement is incorrect. To address this, right-click on the desktop and select 'Display settings' (or a similar option depending on your operating system). Once there, you can visually rearrange the display icons to match the physical arrangement of your monitors. Ensure that the monitors are positioned side by side in the settings window, and drag them to the correct order if they are not. You may also need to check the option for which monitor is set as the main display, as this affects how applications open and where the taskbar shows.
Additionally, if your monitors have different resolutions or orientation settings, make sure that these are set correctly in the 'Display settings'. If one monitor is set to portrait mode and the other to landscape, this could also cause confusion when moving windows between screens.
