Set up second monitor
In the office I currently have two monitors connected to my tower running Windows 8. What I would like to do now is continue using one monitor for my ongoing work and turn the second one facing the other way to permanently display a status window for everyone coming into my office to see. Whilst that is easy to do there are two problems.
The first is that I would like one monitor to continue working in normal widescreen and the second one to work in portrait so it can display a tall, narrow list.
The second, and more critical, is that I don't want to "lose the mouse" as it flows off the edge of the screen I am working on and onto the other one. Is there any way I can do this or do I need a second computer to do it properly?

Thanks for the comments and for shifting the question to a more appropriate area. I was sure I had selected Windows 8 not MS Access - sorry for the error.
Will look at the suggested web site for suitability tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Qlemo, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
In any case, you could set up a virtual machine and only display it on the second monitor - not sure what to do about the mouse though...
