clone dual display to primary monitor
I am looking for a solution to view a display from my second monitor on my primary monitor while not taking over the view of my primary monitor.
I have a computer in a room and i have a monitor (m1) set up so that I can work on it or make changes if needed. I have a dual display set up on a second monitor (m2)that is on the other side of the wall, the monitors are set up to extend so i would like to be set up a few programs that can be running an viewed on m2, while I can work and do things on (m1) with out disturbing (m2). So I would like to have a small window on (m1), that show me the content of what (m2) is seeing or is being displayed on (m2), this way if I open something and it goes to (m2) I can pull it back over to (m1).
Does anyone know of a software that will do this?

Thank you for the advice, yes I saw UltraMon last night but I did not see the add-in it works quite well, but I like the interface of mijalko.com/monitorsprevie
Glad that worked, take care!
(a) Buy a VGA -> composite converter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CJOLBW/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
... this will let you pass-through the VGA signal; but also has a composite video output.
(b) Buy an inexpensive composite video -> USB input device: http://shopper.cnet.com/tv-tuner-adapters/sabrent-tv-usb20-usb/4014-9332_9-32071421.html?tag=mncol;lst
... Now just plug the video output from the first box into the 2nd; and display the video window from the capture device in whatever size and whatever location you want on your primary monitor.
