In your display properties uncheck the "Mirror Displays" box. I would also recommend installing the proprietary drivers for your video card. You may also want to consider GNOME or KDE in place of XFCE. Doesn't sound like you have a low spec machine, so might as well run a DE with a little more to it. XFCE is super light for machines with no horse power.
