I don't have 2 displays hooked up but try right clicking on desktop while both screens are hooked up and click Display settings and there should be something in there somewhere to allow you to switch the settings from either "duplicate display" to "extend displays" etc...

Need a tad more information: CPU, OS, GPU and what are the monitors? (connection type is important)

 

However, go into the Right click, go to screen and you probably need to "extend" the desktop onto the currently black one.
