I expect that it is because you are working at different resolutions on the two monitors. "Ctrl+0" (zero) should return you view to normal. Move the window to the other screen then and see if they are both usable or not. If not you will probably want to change the resolution on the monitor. But you might post how that works for you, what happens, and see if someone can provide better insight.

You already know how to adjust the resolution, so you can probably figure out the solution yourself (and tell us exactly what you did).
