"multiple display" arrangement reverts when I re-boot
I am using a (laptop) PC with WindowsXP, with two displays
(one that is part of the laptop PC, and an external one). When I right-click on the desktop and select "Graphics Properties", a window pops up, that allows me to arrange how the cursor moves from one display to the other. This works OK, but when I shut down the PC (and turn off the power to it) and later re-boot, it goes back to some kind of default arrangement (such that I have to go beyond the far right of my right-hand-side display, to get to the Left-hand-side display). This is only a slight inconvenience, since I only re-boot on average once a day. HOWEVER, there is probably some way to actually change the default, so that it will be more convenient, and I can stop having to run through that "Graphics Properties" routine once a day. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Any advice would be appreciated. update 31-OCT-2006 from Mike_Schwartz: I have also tried this using right-click on the desktop and select "Properties", [then, use the "Settings" tab] instead of right-click on the desktop and select "Graphics Properties". Results: SAME (see above, where it says "later re-boot, it goes back"). Any advice would be appreciated. that still goes. |
