My additional monitor displays the desktop background but no other
information at all. I am running Vista Home Premium.

Can anyone please help me to get the second screen (Samsung 245B) to
replicate what's on the first (Fjitsu Amilo 1718)?

Use the clone mode instead of extending the desktop on the second display.
In Personalization/Display Settings uncheck the "Extend the Desktop on this
Monitor" (leave both boxes unchecked) for the second display. You don't say
what video card you are using but both nVidia and ATI card drivers come with
a control panel for setting up the second monitor in various ways.
 
Run the secondary display in extended desktop mode.
This allows for it to have a separate resolution and allows you to drag and
drop any object from the primary to the secondary display.
Many users just copy the icons from the desktop appearing on their primary
display so that they are also always available on the extended desktop on
their secondary display.
