    In "Display Properties" 2nd Tab "desktop" click it, lower right drop down "position" center, tile and stretch set to center and should fix.

    Edit: Unless you like it stretched? I do I just make my photo size close to my resolution.

    Maybe one of the monitor's native resolution is higher than the other or something

    lolz...

    Hit the "print screen" button. The screen shot will now be copied to your clipboard where you can open up a simple image editing program. Paste the image, and save it as a jpeg.
